Amjad Ali Khan
Sunday, September 15
7:30 p.m.
$37/mid price seating (reg. $42)
Berklee Performance Center, Boston, MA
Purchase by August 15
In a career spanning 50 years, Amjad Ali Khan has single-handedly elevated the sarod to one of the most popular instruments in the Northern Indian tradition. Trained by his father, the legendary Haafiz Ali Khan, Amjad Ali Khan is the sixth in an uninterrupted lineage of music masters. Joining him are his sons, Amaan Ali Khan and Ayaan Ali Khan, already beloved as the next generation of masters on this ancient instrument. Two tabla virtuosi will add percussive richness to the ensemble sound. “Amjad Ali Khan—improvising furiously around the melody line with repeated, rapid-fire playing and then letting his equally frantic tabla player take over—it was easy to see why great Indian music can be as exciting as classic blues and rock” (The Guardian). Presented by World Music.

The Elephant Man
Sunday, September 29
2:00 p.m.
$29/Tier A (reg. $58)
New Repertory Theatre, Boston, MA
Purchase by August 29
This Tony Award-winning drama offers an intense look at John Merrick, a physically deformed Londoner of the late 1880s. Intelligent and sensitive, he strives to be normal, even as he is viewed as a carnival freak and later a scientific celebrity by London’s socialites. This deeply poignant story raises questions
about faith, science, charity, and with particular resonance
for our time, asks us to consider societal responsibility—what does it mean for citizens to be responsible for one another? “An enthralling and luminous play.” (The New York Times).
