The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra welcomes Indian classical music star Amjad Ali Khan to perform his sarod concerto during the second concerts of the Delta Classical Series on Thursday and Sunday, October 19 and 21 at 8pm at Atlanta Symphony Hall. The free Visions of India Festival will precede the Saturday concert in the lobby of the Memorial Arts Building, starting at 5pm.

Cultures unite when the orchestra performs Samaagam, a sarod concerto featuring ragas composed by Khan, who will perform with his family of acclaimed sarod artists. The sarod is a fretless stringed instrument that is one of the most important concert instruments in Hindustani music. It has sympathetic strings that give it a resonant quality and a deep, introspective sound.
