Record-Courier staff report
Two top internationally known artists, Ustad Nishat Khan and Padit Sureh Walwalkar, will perform in public concerts Thursday and Friday this week at the Ludwig Recital Hall in the Kent State University School of Music.
Ustad Nishat Khan, considered by many as the current foremost virtuoso sitar performer, will be accompanied by Ari Khan on the Tabla in a concert that is set for Thursday at 7:30 p.m.
He will be followed Friday at 7:30 p.m. by Pandit Talwalkar, one of the most influential tabla artists currently, whose mastery of the science and yoga of rhythm is said to bring audiences to their feet.
The two concerts are part of an India Musicfest that has been scheduled around the date of Mahatma Gandhi's birthday by the Center for the Study of Indian Classicial Music Society of Cleveland.
Tickets for both concerts are $25 for both concerts or $15 each. Students will be admitted for $10 to both concerts or $6 for each one.
Nisah Khan has performed debut concerts at Carnegie Hall in New York City and at Prince Albert Hall in London.
He is the torchbearer of seven generations and the 400-year old tradition of India 's most renowned musical family and is said to stand at the threshold of the future of sitar and Indian music with his uniquely invigorating, contemporary approach.
Taalyogi Pandit Suresh Talwalkar is one of the greatest tabla exponents of the present times.
He introduced for the first time the novel concept of using vocal accompaniment for solo tabla and added a new dimension to the solo playing of tabla.
