TRIVENI Zakir Hussain, Tabla Jayanthi Kumaresh, Veena Kala Ramnath, Carnatic Violin

Leading Indian classical exponents of their respective instruments Zakir Hussain, Kala Ramnath, and Jayanthi Kumaresh have come together for the first time as a trio. Triveni is the mythical site of the union of three sacred rivers in India, and the name aptly represents the confluence of the varied musicalities which the three maestros bring to this collaboration. A hallmark of Zakir Hussain’s iconic career has been his groundbreaking work at the forefront of musical dialogues between Hindustani (North Indian) and Carnatic (South Indian) music. With Kala Ramnath, an innovative representative of North Indian raga tradition, Jayanthi Kumaresh, the leading exponent of the ancient South Indian veena, and Zakir Hussain seamlessly stitching North and South Indian rhythm traditions to provide a bridge for veena and violin to meet, TRIVENI promises to be a fluent, joyous and entirely original musical conversation.
