Pandit Sharda Sahai at McGill University

Guru-ji (Pandit Sharda Sahai-ji) on the steps of the Schulich School of Music of McGill University, during his 25th Annual Summer Tabla Workshop in 2006. I endeavor to continue this tradition of annual summer tabla workshops, inspired by Guru-ji's and percussionist Bob Becker's initiative which began in the 1980s.
