An assured rendition of Raag Puriya Kalyan by Izat Fateh Ali Khan from the Music Conference's Annual Festival in 2025.

Youngest son of the flag bearer of the prolific Gwalior Gharana, Ustad Fateh Ali Khan, Izat has been steadily garnering attention for the promise he shows to carry the illustrious legacy forward, under his father's attentive training. Big shoes to fill indeed as his ancestors include the venerable Ustads Umeed Ali Khan, Pyare Khan, Banney Khan and Manzoor Ali Khan.

In this performance Yousuf Bashir provides accompaniment on tabla, Ghulam Abbas on harmonium, Wajid Ali on tanpura and Gul Muhmmad Khan official on sarangi.

The full performance can now be viewed on YouTube (link in bio)

We are delighted to invite you for a special commemorative event on Saturday, 04 July 2026, 7.15 pm sharp at the Habitt City Auditorium.

Last year we had the privilege, with British Council's support, to pilot a unique training framework with hand-picked students of classical music that were paired with world renowned Ustads over a 3.5 month long residency. The results of this experiment exceeded our own
expectations. This programme will feature the screening of a short documentary on our Darsgah Pilot Project followed by a recital from one of our Darsgah students.

We would be delighted to have you share in this milestone with us.

Entry: Free & open, all welcome!

An electric excerpt from Ustad Farhan Khan’s rendition of Raag Bihag at our Annual Festival in 2025.

There is a high voltage charge running through the Ustad into his fingers and leaping from the strings as sur. It seems the sitar and him are one, and we can’t take our eyes off either.
