Velvet Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 So I finally got around to picking up tickets today. The show is next Tuesday, and I can't think of a better venue around here to see Ravi in.There are still plenty of tickets left, the cheapest starting at $34 (total price if you get them at the NAC ticket booth). Those with student ID might wanna wait until the day of and pick up Student Rush tickets for, what is it, $9 a ticket or something?Anyway, hope to see some of you out for this one.

bouche Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 yep! She is ON the bill! This legendary sitar virtuoso and composer was named the “Godfather of World Music†by his student George Harrison of the Beatles, and compared to Mozart for his “genius and humanity†by Yehudi Menuhin. In this special concert in celebration of the 25th Anniversary of the Ottawa International Jazz Festival, Shankar plays sitar and conducts an ensemble of Indian violin, folk drums, wind instruments, and traditional vocals in his own compositions. Ravi Shankar, sitar Anoushka Shankar, sitar Tanmoy Bose, tabla Adity Prakash, vocals Ravichandra Kulur, flute Sanjeev Shankar, shenai Swarmina Gusain, vocals Neyveli S. Radhakrishna, violin Nicki Able, tanpura Hari Vrndavn Sivanesan, veena Pirashanna Thevarajah, percussion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phorbesie Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 (edited) the very first time i visited my sister in ottawa, about 10 years ago, i spent the summer day walking around, visiting the art gallery and the locks, and on the way home stopped at a little music store in the glebe, where i purchased the ravi shankar boxed set. so i think i must go to this show. ooh i just remembered...then i took the bus to burlington and went to the clifford ball. one of the best weekends, ever.
