British Indian sitarist Anoushka Shankar will perform at Hodgson Concert Hall on March 20, marking her return to the venue after nearly 25 years.
The 11-time Grammy-nominated musician, known for her innovative approach to Indian classical music, has built a distinguished career beyond her early years performing alongside her father, the legendary Ravi Shankar.

Shankar’s performance will feature compositions from her recent trilogy of mini-albums—Chapter I: Forever, For Now, Chapter II: How Dark it Is Before Dawn, and Chapter III: We Return to Light. The works were developed during a global tour, reflecting evolving themes of transition, healing, and renewal.
With 13 solo albums, Shankar has collaborated with a range of artists across genres, including Karsh Kale, Norah Jones, and Herbie Hancock. She was the first musician of Indian origin to perform live at the Grammy Awards and the youngest recipient of a British House of Commons Shield for contributions to music.
Born in London in 1981, Shankar trained under her father and performed with him as a teenager before establishing her own musical path. Her work combines Indian classical music with contemporary influences, expanding the sitar’s role in modern composition.
The event is supported by Charlie and Teresa Friedlander, Sandy Strother Hudson and Cecil C. Hudson, and Greg and Pamela Mitsoff.
