In one week, artists, friends, and family gather at Carnegie Hall to celebrate the life, music, and spirit of Zakir Hussain — a musician who didn’t just play rhythm, but changed how the world listened to one another.

Zakir Hussain Eternal is not only a tribute. It is a living continuation of the connections he created across cultures, generations, and sound.
