We’re used to hearing about the power and sonic majesty that comes when two siblings sing in harmony: but what about when they string in harmony? That’s the beautiful alchemy that SistaStrings, the musical duo comprising sisters Chauntee and Monique Ross, create every time they bring their unique blend of classical training, soulful melodies, and contemporary sounds to the stage.

SistaStrings recently made waves during the 66th annual Grammy Awards. When the legendary Joni Mitchell took the stage to perform “Both Sides Now,” the New York Times described the moment as “a brief, magical visitation from a musical deity.” Accompanying Joni Mitchell were the remarkable SistaStrings.

The Cedar is honored to present the Debashish Bhattacharya Trio, touring the United States in the fall of 2024 with the program, "Legacy: The music of pioneering Indian recording artists". A unique tribute to the pioneering Indian recording artists of the early 1900s. In those days, small shellac disks captured succinct renditions of Hindustani classical ragas and popular songs, creating a sensation among the wider populace. Indeed, this golden era saw the rise of the first celebrity musicians; household names of the time. Pandit Debashish Bhattacharya is an award-winning artist who is known throughout the world as the unrivalled master of Hindustani slide guitar. The trio features Debashish’s daughter Anandi, a gifted vocalist and a rising star in her own right, and Debashish’s younger brother Subhasis, who is recognized as one of the greatest percussionists of his generation.

“Bhattacharya's facility with a slide is absolutely astonishing: it really has to be seen to be believed.” - All About Jazz
