1 year passes on, but his legacy will remain forever! Remembering Ustad Zakir Hussain Ji on this emotional day with 2 of his special compositions which I have tried to play in tribute to him.
I feel so fortunate to have lived during his lifetime and seen the magic of his musicality, of his philosophy, of his humility, his passion, his dedication and his nurturing personality.
We all have our special memories of him and he never failed to light up our world at every moment...
Forever learning from your life journey, my pranaam to you Zakirji🙏🙏

Impressions of an inspiring week celebrating collaboration and musical discovery with @jasdeepdegun (sitar), @gurdain (tabla) and @fantasiaorchestra 😍🎶
We played music by Terry Riley, Philip Glass, alongside Jasdeep’s own compositions including his concerto ‘Arya’ which we paired with a Rameau’s ‘Aria’ Tristes Apprêts (sitar & baroque music is an exquisite combo!).
Having the space over multiple rehearsal days to explore, experiment, and develop was a luxury. Playing to a packed Smith Square Hall was particularly wonderful at the end of such a special week.
Thank you to everyone at Fantasia on and off stage for making this project possible, and particularly to @millieashton for your boundless energy and brilliant leadership.
We can’t wait to bring the programme to @cheltfestivals for Fantasia’s debut there in July!
