Shahbaz Hussain & Helen Anahita Wilson
Tue 20 May 2025
The ground-breaking tabla and piano duo reunite for a very special performance
As an internationally unique partnership, their music draws on South Asian musical traditions, along with Western contemporary classical and jazz techniques, to create a sound like no other.
From sensuous drones to contrapuntal rhythmic gameplay, Hussain and Wilson show no end of ‘quick-witted imagination and breathtaking technique’ (The Wire) in their electric live shows. Described as ‘absolutely stunning’ (BBC Radio 3), it can be difficult to believe that the variety of sounds and textures these two musicians create can come from only two instruments, but prepare to be surprised and delighted by this duo’s sonic ingenuity and remarkable virtuosity.
