Sarod Virtuoso Amjad Ali Khan with Amaan Ali Bangash and Ayaan Ali Bangash

Register

Sarod Virtuoso Amjad Ali Khan is an award-winning sixth-generation sarod virtuoso from the Bangash lineage credited with the creation and development of the sarod. Trained by his father, the legendary Haafiz Ali Khan, Amjad performed his first recital at the age of six.

Recognized by Songlines magazine as “one of the 20th century’s greatest masters of the sarod”, Khan has not only preserved the sarod’s legacy but has also enhanced the instrument with new dimensions by skillfully blending innovation with a deep respect for tradition.

With a distinguished career spanning more than six decades, Khan has earned numerous prestigious accolades, including a Grammy nomination, the Crystal Award from the World Economic Forum, UNICEF’s National Ambassadorship, and the Fukuoka Cultural Grand Prize. He has performed at renowned venues across the globe, such as Carnegie Hall and the Royal Albert Hall, and was a featured artist at the esteemed Nobel Peace Prize Concert in 2014 in Oslo, Norway.

For this performance, he will be accompanied by his two sons, Amaan Ali Bangash and Ayaan Ali Bangash, who carry forward the family’s extraordinary musical legacy.
