Sanju Sahai & Ken Zuckerman

Ken Zuckerman gave a wonderful concert at CVC to help raise money for the drama students to take their production of the Academy of Death to the Edinburgh Festival. He played the sarod with amazing flair. The first half of the concert was Indian ragas (with Sanju Sahai on tabla and Gilda Sebastian on tanpura) while the second half was Dominique Vellard singing medieval European songs with Zuckerman & Sahai improvising based on the ragas between the verses and after each song. Zuckerman introduced each piece by saying which mode it was in (Aeolian, Mixolydian, etc) to highlight the similarities in modal harmony in Eastern and Western music.
