Director Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali
Khan Memorial Society
Asif Ali Khan, grandson of Ustad Bade
Ghulam Ali Khan take pride in introducing myself as patron-in-chief and director
of Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan Memorial Society.
I have had the good fortune to see my grandfather, Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan up close during my childhood. All of us, my father, Karamat Ali Khan, elder son of Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan, my mother, and my grandmother along with my other siblings, we all lived in Malabar Hills, Mumbai, India. That was the happiest time of my life. I had very loving grand parents. My grand father was always looking out for well being of all of us. Though very traditional in his approach, he was affectionate. He also demanded respect and was a disciplinarian. At home, his was the last word and was considered the law.
I have many fond memories of the time. I distinctly remember, when just before his departure to Calcutta for one of his performances, I had insisted on getting a harmonium. He had assured me that he was going to get it for me and that was a promise. Sure enough, upon his return, he had brought me back a harmonium. It was custom made, especially smaller in size than a regular one so as to make it easier for me to play it.
One of the other memories is the times when my grand father would take us to Chowpati Beach in the evening time along with my grand mother and my older brother, late Baqir Ali Khan. Sometimes, my mother would come along as well. We would walk along the beach, play in the sand and enjoy the snacks. The most memorable part of these outings were the moments when my grand father would start to sing and would sing along with the rhythms of the waves that came crashing down by the sand and rocks and as the it would get darker, his melodious voice would create such an atmosphere that it would transport me into another world. Although, I was only a child, but the true “surs” would have their effect on me. To this day, those evenings at the beach and the beautiful melodies of my grand father take me to different world. I also have had the fortune of getting the “taleem” from my grand father. He introduced my elder brother and me to the wonderful world of classical music. If events of my childhood could have an ever lasting effect on me, I am sure the audiences, once given the opportunity to listen to such melodious music, will have a magical effect on them too and they will become listeners and fans of this form of music forever.

Rana
Shoaib Ahmed Khan
He has great love for music of the Sub-Continent. He says he likes Farida Khanum, Ghulam Ali, Noor Jehan, Lata Mangeshkir and Muhammad Rafi plus in classical music he likes Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali and Ustad Barkat Ali Khan.
He says music is the best source to spread peace and love to Mankind. He comes from a great family of RAJPUTS born in Lahore Pakistan. He had his early schooling in two major cities Islamabad (Capital of Pakistan) and Faisalabad (The Manchester of Pakistan). Then he moved with his family to Jhang (Punjab) the land of Heer Ranjha.
His father namely Ahmed Ali Khan Rana was designated at key post the Deputy Director in ZTBL (ZARAI TARAQIATI BANK LTD). He had his Bachelors in Commerce from University Of Faisalabad Pakistan.He says as he was growing he has great senesce of beauty. He believes in the true colours of life he sees world in a very artistic way. He is the founder and the Vice President of the Bade Ghulam Ali Memorial Society in Lahore Pakistan; he has done lots of music concerts all over the country along with Naqi Ali Khan who is the versatile singer and the Grandson of Mastero and the Legend Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan
He is a very kind hearted person likes to help the mankind and being the Vice President of Bade Ghulam Ali khan Memorial Society he is promoting music as well working for the humanity.
Art is the only true reflection of a society, his ideologies and his beliefs. When we organized the first Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan Music Conference in 2006, we wanted the classical and light classical vocal music scene to serve as cultural barometer for the visiting delegates showing them the vibrant and artistically rich face of our country often ignored by the international media. With the successful completion of that music conference we knew we had established a vital platform for cultural exchange, but little did we imagine the music conference would grow in such leaps and bounds and three years later become the biggest show case of the performing arts in Pakistan. Festivals particularly those with the cosmopolitan outlook such as the Bade Ghulam Ali Khan music festivals are vital for the development of society. They open people’s minds to the importance of the arts and expose the general population to performances they would otherwise not be able to reach. In an artificially insular country like Pakistan where few people have access to local creative output, Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan Memorial Society provides a window to the world of music and an opportunity for our people to be inspired by a multitude of cultural influences from out
