Sukhawat Ali and Cali Qawwali

SUKHAWAT ALI in CONCERT

We’re thrilled to invite you to an unforgettable evening of soul-stirring music on Saturday, November 8 4-7pm — a night that promises to lift your spirits and leave your heart humming.

Sukhawat Ali Khan, from the legendary Sham Chaurasia gharana, will be gracing the stage with his group Cali Qawwali. Descended from a long line of Classical maestros including his father, Ustad Salamat Ali, Sukhawat brings generations of musical brilliance to life through mesmerizing Sufi, Qawwali and Classical performances. You don't just listen to his music — you feel it.

Opening the evening will be the incredibly talented Annesha Ganguly and friends. Annesha is trained in Hindustani vocal music at Kolkata’s prestigious ITC Sangeet Research Academy, under revered gurus including the legendary Girija Devi.
