Bela Fleck, Zakir Hussain and Edgar Meyer

$40/36/26

In a rare concert experience, three of the music world’s most accomplished virtuosos come together to present an evening of unbridled creativity, magic and unity. Though starkly different in their individual musical genres, Fleck (banjo), Hussain (tabla), and Meyer (bass) are each known to destroy the boundaries and limitations of their respective instruments by traveling boldly into unlikely genres. Together, their musical visions joyfully collide to bring audiences a glimpse of unfettered improvisation and heart.
