Anoushka Shankar: Chapters

A Visionary Fusion of Sounds

Experience a transformative musical journey as the City Chamber Orchestra of Hong Kong (CCOHK) presents the Hong Kong premiere of Chapters, a major orchestral work by the world-renowned, seven-time Grammy-nominated sitar virtuoso and composer Anoushka Shankar.

Inspired by her father, the legendary Ravi Shankar, Anoushka continues to redefine the boundaries of Indian classical music in the 21st century. Chapters is a collaborative commission between the BBC Proms, De Singel, and the CCOHK. The performance features music from her celebrated trilogy of albums: Forever, For Now, How Dark It Is Before Dawn, and We Return to Light. This sonic trilogy maps her deep personal, artistic, and geographical explorations, blending the intricate traditions of the Indian sitar with the evocative textures of a modern chamber orchestra.

The Artistic Team

• Composer & Sitar: Anoushka Shankar

Conductor Robert Ames, known for his genre-fluid approach and collaborations with artists like Radiohead and Taylor Swift, leads the ensemble.
