The Aga Khan Museum is proud to partner with the Raag-Mala Music Society of Toronto to bring the finest musicians performing Raag Sangeet (North Indian Classical music) to Toronto audiences.
Throughout their 2024 concert season, Raag-Mala Toronto will present five carefully selected vocalists and instrumentalists who are masters of their craft. Paying homage to tradition while carrying on this ancient art form, Raag-Mala Toronto presents a masterclass in musical complexity through a series of raags — improvisations based on musical scales that serve as the lifeblood of Indian classical music and have no traditional Western equivalent.
Join us for a captivating evening featuring the legendary Ustad Shujaat Khan and Amit Choubey.
A seventh-generation sitar virtuoso of the Imdad Khani Gharana, Ustad Shujaat Khan will mesmerize you with his unique gayaki ang style, which mimics the nuances of the human voice. Accompanying him on tabla will be Amit Choubey, whose deep understanding of rhythm and superior tonal quality combines traditional techniques with modern percussion innovations.
The Museum’s Performing Arts programming is generously supported by the Nanji Family Foundation.
