An Introduction to the Lucknow Shahjahanpur Ghar??n??
Performance of sitar recitals and discussion about a classical Indian musical tradition
Ustad Irfan Muhammad Khan is the Khalif (chief) of this sitar, sarod and rubab ghar??n?? (musical lineage), which played a significant role in shaping modern Hindustani music, but has been pushed to the margins today. Sitarist and cellist, Pete Yelding, is one of a group of Ustad Irfan Muhammad Khan?€?s students researching the embodied knowledge of this rich musical lineage. In this session he will give a brief history of the ghar??n?? and perform some of its great compositions.
