Renowned saxophonist/composer Rudresh Mahanthappa and Director of Jazz at Princeton University will perform at Richardson Auditorium on Saturday, December 3 and Taplin Auditrorium in Fine Hall at Princeton University on Wednesday, December 7. Mahanthappa’s music hybridizes progressive jazz and South Indian classical music, a form that reflects his own experiences as a second-generation Indian American. In 2015, Mahanthappa was named a United States Artists Fellow. Previous awards include a Guggenheim Fellowship, two New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowships, and a Doris Duke Performing Arts Award. In 2016, he was appointed the director of jazz and the associate director of the Program in Musical Performance at Princeton University.
