Ancient Future Guitar-Sitar Jugalbandi at SF International Arts Festival
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Jugalbandi is a classical North Indian musical duet (meaning literally "tied together"). The guitar is not often used in the music of India. However, Matthew Montfort has studied sitar and is a pioneer of the scalloped fretboard guitar, an instrument combining qualities of the South Indian vina and the steel string guitar. This jugalbandi works well because Matthew Montfort is a guitarist with knowledge of sitar, and Pandit Habib Khan has been described as the "Jimi Hendrix of the sitar" by L'Orient le Jour, Beirut's French language newspaper. They will be accompanied by tabla master Ferhan Qureshi.
Ancient Future is the first and longest running musical organization dedicated exclusively to the mission of creating world fusion music. The term was coined by bandleader Matthew Montfort in 1978 to describe Ancient Future’s unusual blend of musical traditions from around the world. BILLBOARD calls the group "trendsetters" for their early contributions to the movement, which seeks to show how people from different cultures can grow by learning from each other.
This performance is part of the San Francisco International Arts Festival. This concert will be held at Fort Mason Chapel in Golden Gate National Recreation Area in San Francisco, California. Admission is $25 general, and $12.50 for those under the age of 18. A Festival Pass for five shows is $70. For more information, visit https://www.sfiaf.org, or call the Box Office at 415-345-7575.
