ADITYA PRAKASH ENSEMBLE
BIO
A Los Angeles native from a family richly immersed in South Indian arts and culture, Aditya’s intensive musical studies began in childhood. At only 16 years of age, he became one of the youngest musicians ever to tour and perform with sitar maestro Ravi Shankar, accompanying him to such prestigious stages as Carnegie Hall, the Hollywood Bowl and Disney Concert Hall.
Today Aditya continues to collaborate with leading innovators and artists, including Anoushka Shankar (he was featured on her Grammy-nominated Traveler); Armenian pianist Tigran Hamasyan (working together on a new album planned for release in 2021); Asian Underground artist Karsh Kale, and most recently the acclaimed dancer and choreographer Akram Khan (in his final solo work, XENOS, touring internationally from 2018-2021).
“He’s always had a powerful voice and it’s beautiful to see his creative voice find the same power.” – Anoushka Shankar
