After a captivating sold-out performance at the NYU Skirball Center in 2025, we are excited to welcome back to NYC the esteemed sarod maestro Amjad Ali Khan alongside his sons, Amaan and Ayaan Ali Bangash, who carry on the family’s extraordinary musical legacy. They will be joined in a special collaboration with Grammy Award-winning American guitarist Sharon Isbin, “Strings for Peace.” This initiative beautifully unites Western classical guitar with Indian classical music (ragas), featuring unique arrangements of Khan’s compositions. Also joining on stage will be tabla virtuoso and protẻgẻ of both Ustad Allarakha and Zakir Hussain, Amit Kavthekar. The project highlights the meditative and spiritual connection between these two traditions, spreading a message of peace and celebrating cross-cultural harmony.
The COLLABORATIONS series presents cross-cultural musical explorations and collaborations. The series often explores how the music of artists from one culture has influenced the music of another culture, or how the music of seemingly widely varying cultures can be strikingly similar or complementary.
