SUMMARY:Millennium Park Summer Music Series -Béla Fleck\, Edgar Meyer & Zakir Hussain with Rakesh Chaurasia
DESCRIPTION:Millennium Park Summer Music Series features a wide variety of music from established and emerging artists at the iconic Jay Pritzker Pavilion. \nBéla Fleck\nFew musicians in any category seem as uncategorizable as Béla Fleck. After initially making his mark with the progressive bluegrass group New Grass Revival\, Fleck proceeded to take his instrument\, as New York Times critic Jon Pareles noted\, “to some very unlikely places.” He formed the Flecktones\, a groundbreaking group whose repertoire ranged from fusion to Bach; the group celebrates its 46th anniversary this year. In addition\, he has played jazz with Chick Corea\, American roots with his partner\, banjoist Abigail Washburn\, written concertos for banjo and orchestra\, and created a documentary film and album\, Throw Down Your Heart\, that examined the banjo’s African roots. Along the way\, he has won 18 Grammys across 10 categories. \nZakir Hussain\nThe 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. A child prodigy\, accompanying India’s greatest musicians and dancers from his early years\, and touring internationally while still in his teens\, Zakir has been at the helm of many genre-defying collaborations including Shakti\, Remember Shakti\, Masters of Percussion\, Diga\, Tabla Beat Science\, CrossCurrents\, Sangam and Grammy-award winners Planet Drum and Global Drum Project. A revered composer and educator\, Zakir is the recipient of countless honors\, most recently the 2022 Kyoto Prize in Arts and Philosophy\, the 2022 Aga Khan Music Award for Lifetime Achievement\, and in January\, 2023\, the title of Padma Vibhushan\, India’s second highest civilian award. \nEdgar Meyer\nAptly described by The New Yorker as “the most remarkable virtuoso in the relatively un-chronicled history of his instrument\,” double bassist and composer Edgar Meyer is at home in a broad spectrum of musical styles. A MacArthur Fellow and Avery Fisher Prize winner\, he is eminently at home within classical music\, both performing traditional works and also his significant catalog of original solo\, chamber\, and orchestral pieces. His 30-year relationship with Yo-Yo Ma has yielded seven recordings together\, and his upcoming projects include a duo recording with jazz bassist Christian McBride and a recording of all four of his concertos with the Knights and the Scottish Ensemble\, produced by Chis Thile. \nRakesh Chaurasia\nLike Zakir Hussain\, Rakesh Chaurasia comes from Indian classical music royalty. His uncle\, Pandit Hariprasad Chaursia\, is widely considered the greatest bansuri player in India\, and Rakesh — who started playing at age five — is deemed his most brilliant student. Not only has he mastered the techniques of Indian classical music\, he has developed additional techniques allowing him to venture into other styles of playing\, particularly with his crossover band Rakesh and Friends. A composer as well as flautist\, he has written and performed on numerous Indian movie soundtracks\, and in 2007 was awarded the Indian Music Academy Award. \nThis event includes ASL interpretation\, wheelchair accessibility\, assistive listening devices\, captioning\, open captioning\, digital programs\, and large print programs. \nhttps://www.chicago.gov/city/en/depts/dca/supp_info/millennium_park9.html
