Sitar Concert by Shahid Parvez Khan

Dazzling virtuosity and innovative musical genius make Shahid Parvez Khan a legend of the sitar. Khan is the seventh-generation heir to sitar’s first family, the Etwawah Gharana. His performances are noted for highly energized and rhythmically innovative instrumental play woven into a tradition that is heavily reliant on the structures of Indian classical vocal music. The Hindu describes him as “Indian music personified.”
