Ustad Nishat Khan
The son and disciple of Ustad Imrat Khan
Nishat Khan transcends musical barriers with his provocative expression and spellbinding technical mastery. Undeniably the foremost virtuoso of the sitar, he is the torchbearer of seven generations and the 400-year old tradition of India 's most renowned musical family. Maestro Khan stands at the threshold of the future of sitar and Indian music with his uniquely invigorating, contemporary approach.
Exemplifying the humanity and
universality of music, Maestro Khan has mastered not only the North
Indian classical idiom but also realms as diverse as Gregorian chant,
Western classical music, abstract jazz, and Flamenco. His sensitive
phrasing and remarkable intuition for other musical traditions
illustrate the freedom and versatility that has led to collaborations
with the world's leading performers and composers such as John
McLaughlin, Philip Glass, Paco Pena, Evelyn Glennie, and Django Bates.
