About Me |
|
| Alam A. Khan, twenty-six year old son of Swara Samrat Ali Akbar Khan, has been studying sarode with his father since he was seven. At his first performance he accompanied his father at a recital in Portland, Oregon and received blessings from Swami Chetanananda. His first public performance was in 1998 at the Spirit of India Festival that celebrated the Ali Akbar College of Music's 30th Anniversary in America.
In 1999, Alam accompanied his father in India at the Jodhpur Palace for the King and Royal Family, the prestigious Dover Lane Festival in Calcutta, as well as several full-length performances in the United States. In 2001, Alam and his father completed a rigorous tour where they performed in Europe and India. Alam accompanied his father in 2002-2003 on a 3 month tour of Europe and India where they performed to sold-out audiences. He also received a prestigious Individual Artists Grant from the Marin Arts Council in June, 2003. Since 2004, Alam has played numerous solo concerts throughout the US and has established himself as a solo artist in India. He has performed alongside some of the great tabla maestros such as Pt. Swapan Chaudhuri, Ustad Zakir Hussain, and Pt. Anindo Chatterjee. Alam continues to accompany his esteemed father in concerts around the world as well as further his solo career. He currently studies under his father and teaches at the Ali Akbar College of Music in San Rafael, CA. |
