Ustad Shahid Parvez Khan Sitar Concert
Ustad Shahid Parvez Khan, world renowned sitarist from India
will be performing at the Community Music School. The sitar is
a plucked stringed instrument used mainly in Hindustani music
and Indian classical music. The instrument is believed to have
been derived from the veena, an ancient Indian instrument,
which was modified by a Mughal court musician to conform
with the tastes of his Mughal patrons and named after a Persian
instrument called the setar (meaning three strings).
Mr. Khan will be accompanied by Amit Kavthekar on tabla and
Nouman Khan on tanpura.
The tabla is a South Asian membranophone percussion
instrument (similar to bongos), consisting of a pair of drums,
used in traditional, classical, popular and folk music.
The tanpura is a long-necked plucked string instrument found in
various forms in Indian music; it does not play melody but rather
supports and sustains the melody of another instrument or
singer by providing a continuous harmonic bourdon or drone.
