The evening promises enchanting classical performances featuring Nabeel Khan on sarangi, accompanied by Zuheb Ahmed on Tabla. The audience will also be treated to a mesmerizing Tabla Jugalbandi by Ustad Rashid Mustafa Thirakwa and Shariq Mustafa, with Ahsan Ali Khan on Sarangi.

In a conversation with Patriot, Shabnam Khan, the General Secretary of Sarangi Cultural Academy, emphasized the healing power of music. She stated, “Music is the best medicine for the world’s misery. It brings people together without barriers, and Sarangi Cultural Academy has been founded to empower young people to infuse our world with the spirit of hope. Its core aim is to inspire young minds to learn Indian Classical music, especially in today’s overwhelming world.”

Khan further explained, “The academy also strives to equip children from less resourceful backgrounds with proper training and skill support to fulfill their musical ambitions. The goal is to promote Indian classical music and Sarangi globally, including Sufi, Folk, and various other music genres.”

Nabeel Khan, a renowned Indian Classical Sarangi Artist, echoed the sentiment, stating, “Sarangi is too soulful and vital an instrument to slip into oblivion. Therefore, the aim of Sarangi Cultural Academy is to spread awareness about Sarangi and Indian Classical Music worldwide. Our Legacy series stands as a prime example of such initiatives.”
