The singular queen of sitar Anoushka Shankar returns. A virtuoso musician and composer, Shankar and her hotshot quintet will fill the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall with a sublime and dynamic neoclassical approach to Indian music.

A world music superstar with nine Grammy nominations to her name, Shankar studied sitar under the instruction of her father – the maestro Ravi Shankar – and has captivated audiences since the age of 13. 

Melding music styles has always been her modus operandi, from incorporating electronic music on Rise and Breathing Underwater to the flamenco meets raga 2011 album, Traveller

Shankar’s first Australian tour in 2008 sold out. Back in Sydney after her 2018 standout shows, this time she brings new material from mini-album Chapter I: Forever, For Now, alongside reinterpreted gems from her previous releases. 

Shankar leads the way in a five-piece of London instrumentalists, all startlingly talented solo artists in their own right, to perform hypnotic and achingly beautiful contemporary music that draws deeply from Indian classical roots and the lived experience of a global diaspora.
