Step into an evening of transcendent artistry with Grammy-nominated sitar maestro Ustad Shujaat Husain Khan, as he makes his highly anticipated UK debut under the Legacy of the Maestros™ banner. A seventh-generation icon of the esteemed Imdadkhani gharana, Shujaat Khan is renowned worldwide for his distinctive gayaki ang—a vocalised sitar style that brings human emotion to the forefront of instrumental music.

Celebrated for his deeply expressive performances across the globe, Ustad Shujaat Khan masterfully fuses centuries-old North Indian classical tradition with a refined, contemporary sensibility. Every raga he performs is a journey—introspective, invigorating, and timeless.

Joining him for this exclusive Manchester engagement are two masterful tabla virtuosos, each hailing from distinguished musical lineages. Their intricate rhythmic dialogue with the sitar elevates every composition, guiding the audience through the emotional landscapes of raga—from the meditative alap, to the exhilarating jhala finale, and rare improvisational passages that celebrate spontaneity and precision.
