Additional information provided by the sponsors:

"With his unique style, Amjad Ali Khan, one of the most distinguished and
successful Indian Classical musicians, has become synonymous with the sarod. A
sixth generation musician of the Senia Bangash school, which traces its roots
to the legendary Tansen, his numerous awards include the UNESCO award, Padma
Bhushan, UNICEF National Ambassadorship, and most recently, the Padma Vibushan.

"The sarod is a short necked, unfretted lute with eight strings. Its lack of
frets make it ideal for Indian Classical Music with its characteristic
embellishments (meends).
