Vail Series Presents: Bela Fleck, Edgar Meyer and Zakir Hussain with Rakesh Chaurasia
Denison University’s acclaimed Vail Series presents its 2019-20 season celebrating our 40th Anniversary welcoming Bela Fleck, Edgar Meyer and Zakir Hussain with Rakesh Chaurasia.
?NPR stated they are “Simply the best at what they do….they’re world-class masters of the banjo, the bass fiddle and the tabla (who) conquered mere technical prowess long ago.” There’s a bit of the sorcerer in Fleck (banjo), Hussain (tabla), Meyer (double bass), and their special guest Chaurasia (bansuri-Indian flute). Most musicians hope at most for proficiency in their chosen form, but these gentlemen move from bluegrass to Western classical to Indian classical to jazz, transmuting genres into something uniquely their own as though they’d gotten hold of the alchemist’s tools that legendarily changed lead into gold. In any case, it’s music that transcends description, ineffable, indefinable, and very beautiful.
?Tickets are free for Denison faculty/staff/students and on sale to the general public for $15 as available. Online ticketing for concerts through Vailseries.org. Tickets available online Sept. 23.
