Not Just for Hippies
Many people remember sitarist Ravi Shankar as a figure from the 1960s flower-power era. He was good friends with the Beatles. But he's also a master of Indian classical music. He's still composing and performing at age 88. Today we'll hear the recent world premiere of Shankar's third concerto for sitar and orchestra. Shankar's daughter Anoushka performed on the sitar, along with the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra.
