We’re so excited about Rovshan’s concert Saturday night at GT Austin (8PM)! We’ve been hearing amazing things about his current US tour, and can’t wait to present his Austin debut.
Before the show (5:30), we’ll also be hosting dinner in Chez Zee’s private gallery – just a minute from the concert hall. We hope you’ll join us!
Information and tickets on both dinner and concert are online here. We thought we’d provide his concert program and also the dinner menu to whet your appetite!
