WCBE is looking forward to hosting sitarist Niladri Kumar and
Experience sitar maestro Niladri Kumaar LIVE at the Southern Theatre, joined on stage by an ensemble of Indian and American musicians. This specially curated performance celebrates his extraordinary musical partnership with the late Zakir Hussain, while bringing centuries of Indian classical tradition together with Niladri’s unmistakably innovative contemporary voice.
Space Between the Notes is an extraordinary recording of a live concert of these two maestros in Mumbai, India —releasing later this year — as their only recorded performance together. Honoring the musical tradition they come from and that brought them together, Niladri Kumaar continues to expand the reach of Indian Music and brings a specially curated 2026–2027 tour, with his Sitar, Zitar, and an ensemble of Indian and American musicians.
Niladri Kumaar weaves together his magical melodies in his much loved unique style with centuries-old tradition and creative innovation. The tour also honors the special musical bond between the two masters through portions of their album recording presented in the tour. Niladri Kumaar’s Space Between the Notes tour is a musical journey — rooted in tradition, and sure to deeply resonate with the hearts of the listeners.
