Dance, music, theatre and art - events worth your time this winter

As the holidays approach, Ranjita Ganesan lists the best performances and activities on offer around the country

Music

 

Beyond the brief
 

Music virtuosos will take instruments beyond their conventional roles in the Aadi Anant: From Here to Eternity festival. Zakir Hussain, the world-renowned tabla maestro, will show off the instrument’s versatility by using it for its typical purpose — to give rhythmic accompaniment to Hindustani music and Kathak dance — as well as for presenting a more active and creative solo performance. Sitar exponent Niladri Kumar will play alongside him. 
 

Where: Tata Theatre, National Centre for the Performing Arts, Mumbai
 

When: December 14, 2019
