Nishat Khan (born 25 October 1960) is an Indian sitar player from an illustrious musical family and the foremost sitar virtuoso of his generation. As a composer and music producer he has collaborated with some of the world's leading musicians such as Paco Peña, John McLaughlin, Philip Glass and Evelyn Glennie. His sitar concerto "Gate of the Moon" premiered with the BBC National Orchestra for the Proms at Royal Albert Hall in 2013.
Khan was born in 1960 in Kolkata, India. He is the son of Imrat Khan and the nephew of Vilayat Khan, who come from the leading family of instrumental music in the North Indian classical tradition, the Etawah Gharana. With seven generations of sitar and surbahar (bass sitar) players, they directly influenced the evolution of sitar up to the present day. Nishat Khan started playing the sitar at the age of 3 and gave his first concert at the age of 7 in Kolkata. Riyaaz (practice) was rigorous, disciplined and enjoyable, often playing late into the night. He was always around music and there was no conversation without it, all his entertainment was centered on music. Nishat learned from his father and his guru, responsible for initiating his career, though his uncle Vilayat Khan was a great influence and inspiration for him. He even skipped school to play sitar, and his father agreed to let him practice instead. Of course he attended a lot of concerts, as his family was always having visiting musicians and friends and when he returned home, an analysis of what he heard and “taalim” (training) would start.
Khan’s first international concert was in 1977 in London, when he performed with his father, Imrat Khan, at the Queen Elizabeth Hall with the eminent musicians of the subcontinent sitting together in the front row, Ravi Shankar, and Salamat Ali Khan. He established an international career touring extensively and collaborating with world-class artists such as John McLaughlin, Philip Glass, Paco Pena, Evelyn Glennie and Django Bates.
He first performed live in a duet with John McLaughlin in 1986 in Italy, who subsequently featured him on his 1993 album The Promise. With Philip Glass, he performed a comparative piece with opera and Nishat’s raga Germany in 1993. In early 2000, Nishat began a unique collaboration with Paco Peña featuring Flamenco and sitar, with several tours in the UK and Europe as part of his group Spirit & Passion. With Evelyn Glennie, he performed at two concerts - one with BBC Scottish Symphony, a special piece Khan composed called Dancing with Seagulls. This was also performed in London at Wigmore Hall. Khan has also composed and recorded sitar and vocals on the rock song Love is the Answer by Weezer in 2009.
