Barbara B. Smith World Music Series - Salar Nader, Tabla and Homayoun Sakhi, Rubab

Salar Nader is one of the most sought-after young percussionists of his generation. Raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, at age 7 he began studying with the legendary tabla virtuoso Ustad Zakir Hussain. Nader is dedicated to the preservation and promotion of the musical tradition he belongs to while simultaneously weaving the tabla into today’s hip-hop, EDM and popular musical genres.

From age ten, Homayoun Sakhi immersed himself in mastering the national instrument of Afghanistan, the double-chambered rubab, under his father’s tutelage in the traditional ustâd-shâgird apprenticeship.

Tickets to all concerts are now available at EastmanTheatre.org or by calling 585-274-3000.
