Ravi Shankar at 90
Ravi Shankar, the great Indian sitar player and composer, is 90 years old today. Still composing, still playing, still touring, even. He just wrapped up a tour of New Zealand and Australia. We'll celebrate his birthday by revisiting the world premiere performance of his newest sitar concerto, featuring daughter Anoushka Shankar as the soloist, along with the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra.
