Maestro’s musical tribute to theatre doyenne

Since 1985, on every February 28, at the Prithvi Theatre, tabla maestro Ustad Zakir Hussain has been performing a concert in memory of Jennifer Kapoor, who started the Prithvi Theatre Festival. Kapoor was a great admirer of his work but her wish to watch him live at Prithvi couldn’t be fulfilled.
And so, as a tribute, Hussain started the memorial concert. In its 31st year, this time, the concert titled ‘Rukhsat’ and will include classical/fusion music and dance performances by the following artistes – Ranjit Barot (drums), Dhaffer Youssef (oud), Niladri Kumar (sitar), Dilshad Khan (sarangi), Vijay S Chavan (dholki), Deepak Bhatt (dhol) and Antonia Minnecola (kathak).
