Collaboration

Collaboration in music refers to the joint creation or performance of a work by several artists, composers, producers, or ensembles. It may involve a duet, a shared composition, a studio project, or the meeting of different traditions. Many MusicTales stories follow such crossings, from Ravi Shankar and George Harrison to classical performers who changed direction through another musician’s presence.
