Press Release Hyderabad, February 16, 2004: Music lovers converged at the Indian School of Business to listen to Amaan and Ayaan Ali Bangash at a sold-out charity concert hosted by the ISB on Saturday, February 14. Talking about the Concert, Amaan Ali Bangash said, "Playing at the ISB today means a lot to us. We share the vision of ISB students and are proud to be part of this concert - of being able to contribute to children in our community. This is a wonderful example for more of our generation to follow." The ISB Charity Concert is a completely student-driven event, and is organised by the ISB Responsible and the Net Impact clubs. All proceeds from the Concert are being donated to the Naandi Foundations' Save Our Schools programme. Said Shiv Sagar Chopra, President of the Net Impact club, "We wanted to contribute in a meaningful way to society. As future business leaders, all of us are very committed to building our communities." Amaan and Ayaan are the youngest members of India's oldest Sarod playing family - their father is Sarod Maestro Amjad Ali Khan. Representing the seventh generation of the Senia Bangash musical lineage, the brothers are master musicians in their own right. They have accompanied their father at many music festivals in India and abroad, and have given solo performances at Palais Beaux-Arts in Brussels, Chicago Symphony Center, Carnegie Hall, and the Edinburgh Music Festival among others. Siddharth Mohan, President of the ISB Responsible club, called this "A remarkable gesture of generosity and support by Amaan and Ayaan. We are very thankful for their presence here today." Amaan and Ayaan were accompanied by noted tabla player, Tanmoy Bose. Trained under the late Kanai Dutta, Tanmoy Bose combines technique, imagination, and dexterity to bring forth music that enthralls. The evening was a brilliant affirmation of the tradition and continuity of Indian classical music. Amaan and Ayaan enthralled the audience with their creative genius, and their mastery of the Sarod. The ISB emphasises a holistic experience in the management education it provides. The Charity Concert exemplifies the ISB's commitment to grooming business leaders who lead by example.
