Sarod Trilogy: Devi

Saturday, June 27, 2026 at 6:00 PM Krasnoff Theater, Tilles Center, Long Island University

Maestro Amjad Ali Khan, Grammy-nominated, 6th-generation sarod virtuoso, performs alongside his sons Amaan Ali Bangash & Ali Bangash, carrying forward a legacy seven generations deep. Joining them: Grammy-winning percussionist Shane Shanahan (Silkroad Ensemble) and acclaimed tabla player Vivek Pandya.

Together, they'll weave ragas drawn from the many forms of the goddess; wisdom, strength, compassion, and grace. A living offering to the divine feminine.

"Music transcends barriers like a cosmic force. Like air, water, flowers, and color, it belongs to everyone." - Maestro Amjad Ali Khan
