Saturday, September 28 at 8 PM Zellerbach Theatre This performance is co-presented with Sruti, The India Music and Dance Society. 13/14 Season | 3 ABOUT THE ARTISTS Shujaat Khan (Sitar) Shujaat Husain Khan is one of the greatest North Indian classical musicians of his generation. He belongs to the Imad Khan gharana of the sitar and his style of playing, known as gayaki ang, is imitative of the subtleties of the human voice. Shujaat Khan's musical pedigree extends seven generations. He is the son and disciple of the great sitarist Ustad Vilayat Khan. His father, grandfather, Ustad Imdad Khan, and great-grandfather, Ustad Sahebdad Khan, were all leading artists of their respective generations. Khan's musical career began at the age of three when he began practicing on a specially-made small sitar. By the age of six, he was recognized as a child prodigy and began giving public performances. He has performed at all of the prestigious music festivals in India as well as throughout Asia, Africa, North America and Europe. Audiences around the world are captivated by his unique style of sitar playing, his exceptional voice and his intuitive, spontaneous approach to rhythm. In 1999, Khan performed as a soloist with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra and in 2007, he was the featured artist at musical concerts celebrating India's 50th anniversary of independence at Carnegie Hall, Paramount Theatre and Meyers Symphony Theater. Khan was also the sole artist representing India in a special performance at the United Nations General Assembly Hall in Geneva which commemorated India's independence. Alongside his many notable performances, Khan has been a regularly featured artist at prestigious concert halls including Royal Albert Hall, Royce Hall and Congress Hall. Khan has also collaborated with different genres of music. The Rain, an album featuring Shujaat Khan and the Indo-Persian Ghazal ensemble, was nominated for a Grammy® Award in 2004 for Best Traditional World Music Album. In January 2000, the Boston Herald listed Khan's concert, along with luminaries like Seiji Ozawa and Luciano Pavarotti, as one of the top 25 upcoming cultural events for the year. Additionally, among the numerous awards and international recognition he has received, Khan's Lost Songs of the Silk Road was honored on Amazon.com's “The 100 Greatest World Music Albums of All Time” list in August 2009. In 2010, Shujaat Khan worked with Asha Bhosle in releasing Naina Lagai Ke. The two performed in sold out concerts in London, Birmingham and Leicester. Their album was selected as “Top Ten Best New Album Release” by the editor of Songlines Magazine and was featured in the magazine's exclusive “Top of the World CD” in 2011. Shujaat Khan has been invited as visiting faculty at the Dartington School of Music in England, the University of Washington in Seattle, and the University of California, Los Angeles. He has more than 100 CD releases on a variety of international labels, as well as a video called KHANDAN. Abhiman Kaushal (Tabla) At a young age, Abhiman Kaushal was indoctrinated into the world of the tabla by his father, R.B. Kaushal, a disciple of the legendary Ustad Amir Hussain Khan. While living in the city of Hyderabad, India, Abhiman Kaushal furthered his studies with both Ustad Sheikh Dawood and Pandit B. Nandkumar. As a result, Abhiman Kaushal is now considered to be one of the leading proponents of the Farukkabad, Lucknow and Ajrara schools of tabla. 4 | Throughout his accomplished career, Abhiman Kaushal has performed with a veritable "who's who" of leading Indian musicians, vocalists and dancers. As he is open to diverse collaborations, Kaushal has also performed with French flautist Jean-Pierre Rampal, the Mexican Symphony Orchestra, gamelan maestro I Nyoman Wenten, Mali- jazzer Cheick Tidiane Seck and the late bandleader/percussionist Tito Puente. Aesthetically speaking, Abhiman Kaushal is renowned for the vivid tone he elicits from the tabla, his articulate performances and his command of both traditional and progressive rhythmic compositions. His talents and achievements have led him to become Director of Tabla at University of California Los Angeles' Ethnomusicology Department, where he has been training a large and diverse student body since 1998. He is also a lecturer in the music department at UC Riverside. 13/14 Season | 5 CONNECT WITH US Join the Email Club Email Club members receive our monthly eNews, occasional special offers and pre-show detail emails.

  • Dynamics of Melodic Discourse in Indian Music: Budhaditya Mukherjee’S Ālāp in Rāg Pūriyā-Kalyān
    Dynamics of melodic discourse in Indian music: Budhaditya Mukherjee’s ālāp in rāg Pūriyā-Kalyān Richard Widdess 1. Introduction This chapter presents an analysis of a performance of ālāp, with reference to the compositional principles that it demonstrates. Following a long succession of ethnomusicological and musicological studies, including Nettl (1974), Lortat-Jacob (1987), Nettl and Russell (1998), Treitler (1974, 2003), Nooshin (2003) and many other contributions, it is clear that compositional principles are no less important in music that is unwritten and “improvised” than in music that is written and “composed”; and that indeed, one can no longer speak of “improvisation” and “composition” in any oppositional sense. It also seems clear that the importance of compositional principles in unwritten music, such as ālāp, is related both to the performer’s need to recall memorised material and invent new material that is grammatical, and at the same time to the listener’s need to engage with, comprehend, and be stimulated by an auditory experience that, for him, happens in real time, whether a written score exists or not, and whether he is listening to a live performance or a recording. In this essay I will consider primarily the listener’s perspective; how far the cognitive processes involved in performing and listening to ālāp are equivalent remains an open question, but that they are closely related seems likely. 1.1. Ālāp and rāga The Sanskrit word ālāpa signifies speaking to, addressing, hence speech, conversation, or communication (Monier-Williams 1899: 153); it overlaps in meaning with the English word discourse. Ālāp in Indian classical music is a process rather than a genre, but it typically occurs in the form of a non-metrical “improvised” prelude, often quite extended, preceding a composed metrical piece.

  • Three Important Essays on Hindustani Music1
    5 Joep Bor Three Important Essays on Hindustani Music1 There are three essays I often return to. The first one is On the Musical Modes of the Hindus by the great British orientalist Sir William Jones, the second is A Treatise on the Music of Hindoostan by Captain N. Augustus Willard, and the third A Short Historical Survey of the Music of Upper India by Pandit Vishnu Narayan Bhatkhande, northern India’s most influential musicologist in the early twentieth century. In different ways these three essays have left an indelible mark on research into Hindustani music. William Jones, as several scholars have pointed out, was a versatile philologist and a polymath who pioneered new fields of research and wrote on a wide range of topics, including Indian music. His publications, especially his translations of Kalidasa’s play Sakuntala and Jayadeva’s lyrical poem Gitagovinda, had a profound influence on scholars and philosophers in England, France and Germany, and also affected major nineteenth-century poets and novelists.2 On the Musical Modes of the Hindus was written in 1784 and published eight years later in the third volume of Asiatic Researches, the widely read transactions of the Asiatic Society of Bengal.3 It was first reprinted (“verbatim from the Calcutta edition”) in London in 1799, and a German translation of it appeared as early as 1802 in Ueber die Musik der Indier, a richly illustrated anthology of various European writings on Indian music compiled by Friedrich Hugo von Dalberg.4 1 A revised version of this paper was used as part of the introduction of The Emergence of Hindustani Music; see Bor, Delvoye, Harvey and Nijenhuis 2006.

Excellent BookBy CustomerThis is one of the better books to give an overall account of Hindustani music in the last few years.It is written by an expert insider, with wisdom and insight. "Hindustani Music: A tradition in transition" is a wide-ranging survey of the North Indian tradition of classical music during the post-independence period. Explicitly, this book addresses music lovers of above-average familiarity with Hindustani music, and their curiosity about its inner workings. It is, however, also a valuable reference for scholars and other writers on music. The book is based on the author's long years of training as a musician, vast experience as an analyst of music, and an observer of the cultural environment. The book is divided into six parts. Part I articulates an Indian perspective on important societal, cultural, economic and technological drivers of Hindustani music.

  • HIDAYAT HUSAIN KHAN +91 9167829190 IND +1 609 540 1194 USA [email protected]
    HIDAYAT HUSAIN KHAN +91 9167829190 IND +1 609 540 1194 USA [email protected] Born, 24th September, 1975 in Dehra Dun, India, Hidayat Husain Khan had his destiny etched in classical music. A direct descendant of the greatest of all lineages in Hindustani classical music, he is seventh in an unbroken line of generations of sitar players inheriting the legacies of legendary masters who arose from his family. His great grandfather, Ustad Imdad Khan co-developed the Surbahar (bass sitar). His grandfather Ustad Enayat Khan was the foremost Sitar player of his time. Hidayat Husain Khan's baptism into music started at the tender age of four. Under the tutelage of his father and legendary sitarist Ustad Vilayat Khan (1928-2004), he excelled in “khayal” and other forms of vocal music and was soon seen in the centre stage when he gave his first public performance in Lucknow, India at the age of nine. His formal initiation into sitar playing started from the age of fourteen. From his father he imbibed and mastered the art of “Gayaki Ang", an innovative style of sitar playing, indebted to his own treasured lineage, in which the instrument strives to imitate the inflections of the human voice. Embarking on his voyage as a talented satirist, Hidayat Husain Khan was soon performing solo or at tandem with his illustrious father. During this time he performed at various concerts including the prestigious Royal Albert Hall in London, England, Kennedy Centre in Washington D.C., Carnegie Hall and Alice Tully Hall at the Lincoln Centre in New York.
