Zakir Hussain & Third Coast Percussion

“If there is such a thing as a tabla superstar, Indian virtuoso Zakir Hussain is it…”
— Chicago Tribune

The GRAMMY Award-winning Third Coast Percussion has commissioned international tabla superstar Zakir Hussain to compose a major new work that blends the sounds of tabla with a classically trained percussion ensemble. A shared spirit of collaboration and curiosity reverberates among the five artists who will share the stage for the first time as part of a special double bill concert presentation.

Part of Third Coast Percussion’s 20th Anniversary season, this tour also brings new works by Jessie Montgomery, Jlin, and Tigran Hamasyan, with multiple premieres including at Carnegie Hall.
