Scintillating Sitar by Shakir Khan

Richmond Music Lovers – Be ready to be enthralled by scintillating Sitar performance by Shakir Khan on Sept 28th at VCU Singleton Center. Shakir Khan is one of the most promising young exponents of the legendary Etawah Gharana, energetically following in the musical footsteps of his prodigious father and guru — the sitar maestro Ustad Shahid Parvez Khan. Indeed, Shakir represents the eighth generational link in an unbroken chain of musical talent and tradition poured exclusively into the sitar and surbahar. Hope you remember performance by Ustad Shahid Parvez from last year, so this is a great opportunity to see how this tradition is not only continuing but flourishing with more energy and enthusiasm.
