Kartik Seshadri, whose performances are noted for their “expressive beauty, rich tonal sensibility and rhythmic intricacy” (Washington Post), is a world-renowned sitar virtuoso, composer, and disciple of Pandit Ravi Shankar. A child prodigy in India, he first attracted widespread attention after he began performing full-length solo recitals at the age of six. Since then he has been regarded as a musical powerhouse, performing in the world’s most prestigious festivals and venues. Accompaniment provided by Arup Chattopadhyay, an outstanding tabla player of the younger generation.
