Shankar Lakshminarayana, known as L. Shankar or Shenkar, is a celebrated Indian violinist, vocalist, composer and record producer, recognized for innovative fusion in world music. Having sold over 100 million albums worldwide, the Grammy-winning artist is credited with inventing the stereophonic double violin (known as the LSD - L. Shankar Double Violin).  Spanning Carnatic, classical, and popular music, his career reflects unparalleled creativity and influence across diverse genres, with a prolific repertoire of vocal and instrumental compositions that further attest to his multifaceted talent and lasting legacy in the realm of music.

Grammy-winning percussionist Shri. Thethakudi Harihara Vinayakram, a.k.a. Vikku Vinayakram, is hailed for popularizing the Ghatam to global acclaim through his single-handed efforts. Serving Indian music for over six decades, he has collaborated with eminent percussionists as well as iconic music directors such as Illayaraja, A.R. Rahman and many more. His boundless contribution to the soundscape of India has earned him prestigious accolades including the Padma Shri, Ustad Amjad Ali Khan award, and Tala Ratna award.

A Maestro of the Kanjira and gold recipient at the 2023 Grammys, V. Selvaganesh is a revered Indian percussionist who has honed his skills absorbing the nuances and complexities of the Kanjira and elevated it to the world stage through his virtuosic performances. With his heart set on safeguarding India's rich musical traditions, his significant contributions to the field of music education have solidified his role as a musical ambassador of South Indian percussion.

The concert will also feature tabla wizard Ustad Fazal Qureshi, brother of Ustad Zakir Hussain, whose distinguished career demonstrates his rhythmic mastery and innovative cross-genre collaborations with global luminaries.
