Anoushka Shankar

Surrounded by talented partners, Anoushka Shankar continues her work as an explorer, creating a sonic magic at the confluence of traditions.

Throughout her albums, Anoushka Shankar has never ceased to explore the hybridisation of musical practices and traditions, without ever losing sight of the learned tradition that formed her. It has to be said that this Anglo-Indian-American sitar virtuoso, producer, composer and activist, a one-woman embodiment of the dialogue of cultures, has never been afraid to take risks, constantly reconfiguring her own artistic world with the help of chosen partners. She is now performing at the Opéra de Dijon with a new quintet of musicians, including two percussionists, a bassist and a clarinettist, with whom she projects the tradition of Indian ragas, of which she is the heir, in a dynamic approach with facets as magnetic as they are unexpected. All you have to do is let yourself be bewitched, and set off to discover not only an unheard-of musical universe, but one of the most captivating personalities on the contemporary scene.
