Casa da Música filled on a Wednesday night to listen to British sitar player Anoushka Shankar (Ravi Shankar’s daughter).Anoushka steps on stage alone, under a single light, and plays Offering, like a gift to those in attendance. Meanwhile the backs comes in Sarathy Korwar (drums), Pirashanna Thevarajah (percussion), Tom Farmer (double bass), Arun Ghosh (clarinet).

The performance was centered around music Anoushka has been working on that will be released in instalments – intended to capture moments and emotions – and previously released tracks.

A rhythm crescendo was noticed during the performance with a solo by Arun Ghosh (clarinet) getting an ovation from the audience. A Ravi Shankar theme that Anoushka has been working on throughout the years was played, and the concert ended with Reunion. Anoushka will return alone to play a final track, Sleeping Flowers.
