Hailed as a maverick musician and composer, a celebrated ambassador, and an Indian Music Icon, Kumaar is a serious exponent of Indian Classical Music, considered India's pride, and one of the most sought-after Indian musicians of today's generation. Kumaar weaves together his magical melodies in his much-loved unique style with centuries-old tradition and creative innovation. His sitar-tabla duets with Hussain were one of the most popular and prominent collaborations in Indian music.

Honoring the musical tradition they come from, Kumaar continues to expand the reach of Indian Music and brings this specially curated concert with his Sitar, Zitar (an electric sitar), and an ensemble of Indian and American musicians: Agnelo Fernandes (piano), Sambit Chatterjee (tabla), and Satyajit Talwalkar (tabla).
