Anoushka Shankar – Sydney Festival 2024

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. 

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.

Presented by Sydney Festival.
