“Crossed barriers of language, culture, uniting people through music and melody…The power of their performance rocked the hall.”

STRINGS FOR PEACE
“The sarod and the guitar belong to a common family of stringed musical instruments. The artists of Strings for Peace believe that the discourse between instruments is a meditative exploration on the nature of sonoral divinity. In sharing the great unique treasures of our own artistic traditions, we find common ground in Ragas and Medieval modes, with the aim of achieving a cross-fertilization at both cellular and cosmic levels of two classical music traditions which are often held to be radically different.

Through this collaboration, we strive to preserve the essence of Indian and Western traditions so they can flow into each other without artistic compromise. This blissful dream of a project is infused with the unique contributions of artists united under a common spirit, regardless of diverse backgrounds, cultures, traditions, generations, genders, religions, upbringing, and career paths.” - Amjad Ali Khan

“It is an honor and joy to perform Strings for Peace! The music Amjad Ali Khan has composed for us is sheer genius, and I don’t use this term lightly. In an amazing way, it interweaves our varied musical, spiritual and artistic traditions with mystical beauty, creativity, grace and great emotion. It is a powerful and moving experience for me to perform with these extraordinary artists, and to share our passionate, transcendent and inspiring adventure with audiences.” - Sharon Isbin
