Abhijat Music Forum presented the young maestro of Kirana - Ustad Arshad Ali Khan during the Lonavala Khandala Residential Sangeet Sammelan 20th/22nd September 2019.

Arshad ji descends from the family lineage of Abdul Wahid Khan and Abdul Karim Khan, the founders of Kirana Gharana and received taleem from his maternal uncles Mashkoor Ali Khan and Mubarak Ali Khan.

In his vocal recital, Arshad ji took up the morning melody Miyan ki Todi for a detailed exposition. His sonorous alap in merukhand style, proceeding to bol- alaps, bol tans and electrifying taankari in the vilambit khayal and taans of supersonic velocity enunciated with great clarity in the drut composition elicited a lot of applause. At a pressing request from the learned audience then, he rendered a brief Deskar.

Arshad ji was accompanied by Shri Abhay Datar on tabla and Shri Siddhesh Bicholkar on the harmonium; Shri Rahul Sarodi & Shri Sahil Bhogale on the taanpura.
