Sitarist and composer Ravi Shankar, who was scheduled to perform at Walt Disney Concert Hall on April 19, has postponed his appearance until Sept. 29.
In a statement, Shankar writes: “It is with deep regret that I have asked the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association to postpone my concert scheduled for April 19. As you know, this upcoming concert was already re-scheduled from October 20 for reasons of my health. Now I have asked that it be re-scheduled again. This time, the reason is due to visa complications with a trusted member of my ensemble. To give you the best possible performance, I feel the only option is to postpone our concert.”
Tickets for either date (April 19 or Oct. 20) will be valid for entry on Sept. 29.
The concert is still being billed on the Phil’s Web site as a “90th birthday celebration), although the April date was 13 days after Shankar’s 91st birthday. The new date comes two after the Phil’s 2011-2012 gala opening concert and the day before the orchestra’s first subscription concert.
