A Tribute to Legendary Indian Composers

Supported by HSBC India

Ghulam Husnain Khan (Raja Miya)
Ashwini Bhide Deshpande

Agra gharana is known for its storehouse of compositions; some of which have also been adopted by practitioners of other gharanas.

Ghulam Husnain Khan (Raja Miya) had the privilege of being trained with his eminent uncle, Khadim Hussain Khan, and the doyen of Agra gharana, Yunus Hussain Khan.

He will present some notable khayal compositions of the two doyens of Agra gharana: Vilayat Hussain Khan (Pran Piya) and Mehboob Khan (Daras Piya)

Jaipur-Atrauli gharana is well known for its repertoire of unusual and mixed (jod) ragas. Besides the legendary vocalist-composer-guru, Alladiya Khan, there are also others from his lineage, who have contributed to the treasure of compositions that are widely performed today.

Initially trained by Narayanrao Datar, Ashwini Bhide Deshpande was groomed in Jaipur-Atrauli style by her mother, Manik Bhide, and Ratnakar Pai. With a style that reflects a harmonious blend of tonal quality and emotiveness, Ashwini Deshpande will present some compositions of select composers from the Jaipur-Atrauli gharana.
