Anoushka Shankar

A singular and genre-defying artist across realms 

Anoushka Shankar brings to Houston a new band of musicians with whom she has carved out a new, multifaceted and dynamic sound as they perform music from her three newly-released mini-albums “Chapter I: Forever, For Now”, “Chapter II: How Dark it Is Before Dawn” and marking the release of Chapter III (Untitled) coming in March 2025, alongside thoroughly shaken-up, reinterpreted gems from her previous releases including the Grammy-nominated live album Between Us…  

Anoushka marks 30 years of performing in 2025, with this band that has been hailed as one of the best ensembles to have toured with Anoushka across her performing career. The energy and camaraderie on stage is unmatched as Shankar leads the way in pioneering a new sound through inventive arrangements, sensitive virtuosity and a neoclassical approach to the music tradition to which she belongs.

“Her sitar’s resonant twangs weaved emotions, and what followed was a spellbinding concert that painted the night with sonic magic.”
