Sultan Khan

Data updated on 2024-05-17 16:27:12 UTC

Emotional depth, virtuosic instrumental skills, and a passion for melody distinguished the music of sarangi player Sultan Khan. Taught the rudiments of the sarangi by his father, Ustad Gulab Khan, he continued to evolve as an instrumentalist. Performing his debut concert at the age of 11 at the All-Indian Conferences, Khan was a two-time winner of the prestigious Sangeet Natya Academy Award. He also received the gold medal award of Moharashtra and an American Academy of Artists award in 1998. Attracting international attention when he accompanied Ravi Shankar on George Harrison's Dark Horse tour in 1974, Khan was featured on the soundtracks of Gandhi and In Custody. In 1997, Khan performed at Prince Charles' 50th birthday celebration. Khan died in 2011. ~ Craig Harris, Rovi
