EMWM1012 I BACK TO CATALOG
In 2014, The Ravi Shankar Foundation and East Meets West teamed up with the Grammy Foundation to create an introductory text to Ravi Shankar’s storied career. The book includes an introduction by Sukanya Shankar, a companion CD curated by Anoushka Shankar, and text by Cat Celebrezze illustrated by rare photographs from the Archive. As a primer, it is intended as a guide when exploring the stunning array of Ravi Shankar’s musicianship and a set of milestones to orient audiences when discovering his work. When first released, Milestones was available only to educational institutions, but now, as a web exclusive to the EMWMshop, the Milestones MiniPrimer is here! Containing the same great material and packaged with the Companion CD, the Milestones MiniPrimer allows fans to discover the roots of what the Maestro held most dear: curiosity, active seeking, and the power of creative expression. Details: Softcover, 8″x 8″, 32 photographs, companion CD.
