For four decades Zakir Hussain performed and curated the Prithvi Theatre Memorial Concert to mark Jennifer Kapoor's birthday, and the last 23 years have been preserved on video. Starting from the 7th of February, the Prithvi team intends to share these recordings with their audience over three weekends as a form of remembrance and tribute to his incredible commitment.

According to a press note, Kunal Kapoor said, "We at Prithvi Theatre are extremely honoured and proud of Zakir Hussain's association with us. His keeping the date over the last 40 years, even during the COVID restrictions, is extremely valued! Unfortunately, it was only in the last 2 decades that we started to record (video & audio ) these concerts, realising what amazing history was being performed on this date. These recordings were only shared with the artists who performed here - but now we will screen them at Prithvi as part of our Tribute to Zakir Hussain - 20 recordings over the next three weekends - Guzishta Yaadein."

These screenings will be held for free at Prithvi House. As there is limited capacity, entry will be given on a first-come, first-served basis on the day of the event.
