Step into an evening of lyrical grace as Padma Shri Ustad Ahmed Hussain and Ustad Mohammad Hussain bring the timeless beauty of ghazal to life – joined by their sons.

Accompanied by their sons, Javed Hussain and Imran Hussain, the evening offers an intimate, soul-stirring presentation that bridges tradition with accessibility.
With a signature style that blends classical rigour with melodic simplicity, the Hussains bring decades of devotion and artistry to the stage, having earned prestigious accolades such as the Padma Shri and Sangeet Natak Akademi Award. The performance features evocative verses by poets including Bashir Badr, Hari Om, Faraz Hamidi, Wasim Barelvi, Syed Habib-ur-Rehman Niyazi, and Shamim Jaipuri – inviting both seasoned listeners and new audiences to experience the enduring beauty of ghazal.
