Ravi Shankar, the legendary sitarist and composer is India's most esteemed musical Ambassador
and a singular phenomenon in the classical music worlds of East and West. As a performer,
composer, teacher and writer, he has done more for Indian music than any other musician. He is well
known for his pioneering work in bringing Indian music to the West. This however, he did only after
long years of dedicated study under his illustrious guru Baba Allaudin Khan and after making a name for himself in India.

Sitar player and composer Anoushka Shankar has emerged as one of the leading figures in World
Music today. She is deeply rooted in Indian classical music, having studied exclusively with her
father, the legendary Ravi Shankar, and is now one of the foremost performers in that tradition.
In tandem with this, she has flourished as a performer and composer, exploring fertile ground in the
crossover between Indian music and a variety of genres including electronica, jazz, flamenco and
Western classical music.
