The Aga Khan Music Awards will fill London with music rooted in Muslim heritage this November, staging a four-day festival that brings centuries-old music into conversation with contemporary practice. Running from 20–23 November, the programme spreads across the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall and Purcell Room, and into the Ismaili Centre London, each venue offering a different slice of the festival’s rich musical map. The festival opens with a tribute to tabla legend Ustad Zakir Hussain by the Triveni Quartet; a new work, “Travellers,” by sarod virtuoso and 2022 AKMA winner Soumik Datta; and a finale with Grammy-winning Malian singer Oumou Sangaré performing with the BBC Concert Orchestra.
