Percussion legend Zakir Hussain returns to the Rialto with "Masters of Percussion," a sonic tour of the past, present, and future of Indian musical traditions.  Hussain explores the full range of classical Indian music-from the exquisitely melodic (raga) to the enchantingly rhythmic (tala) and from the Hindustani traditions of northern India to the Carnatic ones of the South-and incorporates innovative blends of traditional and contemporary, folk and classical styles.  Hussain brings with him master musicians Taufiq Qureshi, violinists Ganesh and Kumaresh, Sabir Khan, Navin Sharma, Sridar Parthasarathy, and the athletic and dazzling Motilal Dhakis of Bengal.  Don't miss this unique exploration of one nation's musical heritage!
