Anoushka and her sister Norah Jones have put together a show to pay tribute to their father and celebrate his life’s work. Many of Ravi Shankar’s senior disciples and loved ones will be joining Anoushka onstage along with special guest Nitin Sawhney. It will be an evening of music highlighting his multi-genre work, including Indian Classical, East – West collaborations and songs from films. Throughout the day there will be other events taking place to mark his music and influence, the details of which can be found on The Southbank Centre website.
The show is currently sold-out but do keep an eye on tickets in case anything changes:

To read a list of Anoushka Shankar’s accomplishments is to read many life stories in one: masterful sitarist; film composer; impassioned activist; the youngest and first female recipient of a British House of Commons Shield; the first Indian musician to perform live or to serve as presenter at the Grammy® Award with seven nominations under her belt, and the first Indian woman to be nominated; one of the first five female composers to have been added onto the UK A-level music syllabus.
Immersed from a young age on the world stage, with over a quarter-century’s performing behind her, she is a singular, genre-defying artist across realms - classical and contemporary, acoustic and electronic.
