Some 650 children at the Dubai Modern School were today treated to a one-off musical Masterclass by two of the most talented Sarod players in the world, Indian brothers Amaan and Ayaan Ali Khan.
After leaving a full house at Dubai’s Madinat Theatre delighted with a masterful live performance last night (May 28) with their celebrated father Amjad Ali Khan, the pair was keen to extend their skill-set to another eager audience, albeit a much younger one.
The Masterclass was organised by The Fridge, and sponsored by Porsche Centre Dubai, Al Nabooda Automobiles, as part of its outreach programme to promote arts and culture in the Dubai community.
K. Rajaram, CEO of Al Nabooda Automobiles, commented: “Seeing Amjad Ali Khan and his sons in Dubai for the first time last night was exceptional, but it is even more special to have Amaan and Ayaan take time to share with children the nuances of playing the Sarod, which is such a timeless Indian tradition.
“With its own heritage, Porsche understands the importance of maintaining prestigious values whilst also looking to the future, and the two brothers represent this perfectly. The children today were star-truck and seeing the smiles on their faces was a real delight.”
