Third Coast Percussion and Salar Nader, Tabla

The late Zakir Hussain composed Murmurs in Time as a commission for Third Coast Percussion, combining the beauty and complexity of Hindustani classical music with the singular sound world of this Grammy Award–winning percussion ensemble. Salar Nader—tabla virtuoso and protégé of Hussain—will perform with Third Coast Percussion in honor of the composer’s profound legacy. This special concert presentation also includes newly commissioned works from Jessie Montgomery, Tigran Hamasyan, and Jlin, as well as a solo tabla performance by Nader.
