Sabir Sultan Khan, one of the finest sarangi players in the world is coming to perform at this year’s Darbar Festival in London. He is the musical genius son of legendary sarangi player and vocalist Padma Bhushan Ustad Sultan Khan.

While his talent may have been God-gifted, Khan believes it was honed by being born into a musical family, “When you get God’s gift, you’ve got to maintain it,” he says, adding that it’s a big responsibility to be a legend’s son. A difference of 19 out of 20 is acceptable, but 15 out of 20, for instance, just doesn’t cut it. “I need to live up to my name, my father’s name, my lineage’s name, and my Allah’s name,” he concludes, sharing that his foremost prayer before every concert is to preserve his parents’ reputation.

Aneesh Pradhan will be accompanying him on the tabla.

In addition to this, you will be glad to know that this evening is part of a double bill concert. The first half of this double bill features Ramana Balachandran on veena and Patri Satish Kumar on mridangam.

This evening will be a special treat for Indian classical music fans and will deliver musical ecstasy from the north and south of India.
