Last night, my husband and I attended a concert featuring Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma and his son Rahul at the University of Maryland. This is the third time that we have seen Pandit-ji: we first saw him in Kolkata at the Calcutta Club and then we saw him perform with Ustad Zakir Hussain at George Washington University. The first half was devoted to ragas and the second half to a "light classical" piece that ran non-stop for 45 minutes. The stamina! The virtuousity!The concert supported Asha, an organization that seeks to provide education to needy children in India.
