Play Like a Lion: The Legacy of Maestro Ali Akbar Khan

American born Alam Khan is traveling from California to India on his first concert tour without his ailing father, legendary Indian sarodist Maestro Ali Akbar Khan. Alam's father, who introduced Indian classical music to the US at New York's Museum of Modern Art in 1955, was “The Emperor of Melody,” a national treasure in India and the US, a Grammy nominee, and according to renowned master violinist Lord Yehudi Menuhin, “possibly the greatest musician in the world.” When Alam feels the weight of living up to his family's North Indian Classical music tradition, he remembers his father's advice: “Don't worry, Play like a Lion!”
