Third Coast Percussion has commissioned tabla master Zakir Hussain to compose a major new work that blends the sounds of tabla with a classically-trained percussion ensemble. A shared spirit of collaboration and curiosity reverberates among the five artists who will share the stage as part of a special double bill concert presentation.

The pre-eminent classical tabla virtuoso of our time, Zakir Hussain is appreciated as one of the world’s most esteemed and influential musicians, one whose mastery of his percussion instrument has taken it to a new level transcending cultures and national borders.

Third Coast Percussion is a Grammy-winning, artist-run quartet of classically-trained percussionists. For 20 years, the ensemble’s energetic performances have celebrated the extraordinary depth and breadth of musical possibilities in the world of percussion.
