For over twenty years Alonzo King and Zakir Hussain have been pushing the boundaries of creative expression together. This spring, these two masters of rhythm, vibration and transformation will unite for a special world premiere collaboration in honor of LINES Ballet’s 35th Anniversary Season.
A national treasure, Zakir Hussain, who will be performing live on stage with sarangi master Sabir Kahn, is a classical tabla virtuoso from India widely considered a chief architect of the contemporary world music movement. His complex rhythmic systems naturally partner with King’s choreography to celebrate the long-standing continuity between transcendental Eastern thinking and Western ballet’s classical forms and techniques.
