Ustad Ali Akbar Khan, one of the most renowned exponents of Indian
classical music, traces his tradition back to the 16th century court
of Emperor Akbar.  He is the son of Allauddin Khan, perhaps the
greatest figure in Hindustani classical music this century.

Khansahib has received numerous awards and citations from various
organizations.  Notable among these are: President's Award (1966), and
Padma Vibhushan (1988).  He has received honorary doctorates from
California Inst. of the Arts, Rabindra Bharati University, Dacca
University, Delhi University, and Shantiniketan University.  Last
year, in recognition of his work in the field of music, the MacArthur
Foundation gave him the "genius award" of $375,000, the highest ever
awarded to any single artiste.

Ali Akbar Khan has composed music for various award-winning films,
including Satyajit Ray's "Devi" and Tapan Sinha's "The Hungry Stones"/
He has made numerous albums in the USA, in India, and in Europe.  He
was nominated for a Grammy in 1970 and 1983.  His recent album,
"Journey", was listed as one of Billboard magazine's top ten World
Music recordings for 1991.

Khansahib has given many concerts throughout Asia, Africa, Europe,
Australia and North America.  He founded the Ali Akbar College of
Music in Marin County, California, in 1965.  Since then, some six
thousand students have studied in various programs offered by this
school.
