Padma Shri awardee, Ustad Shahid Parvez Khan represents the seventh generation of sitar's Etawah gharana. Instructed by his father and guru, Ustad Aziz Khan, he has also been influenced by sitarist Ustad Vilayat Khan and vocalists Ustad Amir Khan and Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan. He is master of both the melodies of Raga and the rhythms of India - north and south.
His life is one of practice and inspired performance. Noble in sentiment and palatial in form, his music is characterized by controlled power, reaching impossible speeds without losing the tonal and conceptual clarity established in slower movements. A generous teacher, Ustadji founded the SPK Academy of Music to pass on the traditions to which he is worthy heir.
