The performances at Delhi Classical Music Festival and Uttaradhikar festival by Raza Foundation reaffirmed our belief in the efficacy of guru-shishya parampara. Our centuries old intangible heritage of classical music is the precious legacy being carried forward by the stalwarts of each generation to the worthy inheritors of the generation next, who are groomed with care by their gurus. The Delhi classical Music Festival took off to a flying start with the soulful sitar recital by Ustad Nishat Khan, the worthy inheritor of the Itawa Imdadkhani Gharana. Nishat, the son and disciple of Ustad Imrat Khan and the nephew of Ustad Vilayat Khan. All these young artists made their gurus proud with flawless renditions by their chosen disciplines and assured the music lovers that the future of classical music and dance is totally secured.
