Amjad Ali Khan in concert - OCT 28 NYC
The Center for India Studies Presents
Amjad Ali Khan in concert THE LEGACY OF THE SAROD - INDIA'S ANCIENT GUITAR
A Special Concert Recognizing the Centennial of Gandhi's Satyagraha Movement
Amjad Ali Khan, India's legendary sarod virtuoso and composer, performs at
Stern Auditorium, Carnegie Hall on Saturday, October 28 at 8:00 p.m.
In a career that has spanned over 50 years, Khan, the Master of the Sarod,
has performed throughout the world in the most prestigious venues and
festivals. He now returns to Carnegie Hall in a special concert celebrating
seven uninterrupted generations of masters of his instrument which will
include his sons Amaan Ali Khan and Ayaan Ali Khan.
Khan has been a key figure in bringing traditional Indian music and culture
to the West through his numerous performances, workshops, lectures and
humanitarian work. Among his numerous awards and titles, Khan has served as
an Ambassador to UNICEF, he has represented his nation at the First World
Arts Summit in Venice and he has received the famed UNESCO award. A prolific
composer, he has written for musicians from the East and West in addition to
creating his own numerous ragas. In 1999, Khan inaugurated the World
Festival of Sacred Music with His Holiness the Dalai Lama. "When Amjad Ali
Khan performs he carries with him a deep human spirit, a warm feeling and a
sense of caring" said His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
Amjad Ali Khan's most recent CD releases include Moksha, a solo album for
the Real World label. In the past, he has collaborated with the Hong Kong
Philharmonic Orchestra and has been a visiting professor at the Universities
of Yorkshire, Washington, North Eastern and New Mexico. BBC Magazine had
voted one of his recent CDs titled Bhairav among the best 50 classical
albums of the world for the year 1995.
Amaan Ali Khan and Ayaan Ali Khan represent the 7th generation in an
unbroken chain of the Senia Bangash School, disciples of their father and
guru Amjad Ali Khan and grandsons of the Haafiz Ali Khan. Following their
father's footsteps, they have achieved critical acclaim in the classical art
form performing throughout the world. The young and talented brothers have
recently expanded into crossover projects collaborating with the guitarist
Derek Trucks (Allman Brothers Band) and percussionist Evelyn Glennie.
Recently, Amaan and Ayaan released a highly successful lounge/electronica
album called Reincarnation.
