Sitar player Hidayat Khan, son of the legendary classical musician Ustad Vilayat Khan, will perform at the Aicon Gallery on Friday, April 30 to benefit Kolkata's Neerupama, an organization devoted to both increasing public health and artistic awareness in children. Khan will be joined by Samir Chaterjee on tabla. Hidayat Khan began playing sitar at age four under his father's tutelage. He learned both singing and sitar, eventually bringing him to stages around the world; he has played at London's Royal Albert Hall, Washington DC's Kennedy Center and New York's Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center. Khan's music has also been heard in MIra Nair's 'Kamasutra,' and on the Discovery Channel show, 'Tracking a Legend.'
