Ustad Sultan Khan is internationally renowned for the emotional depth of his playing, and his extraordinary technical and melodic control. He is one of the representatives of the Indore Gharana, made famous by Amir Khan. From seven years old he learned from his father, Gulab Khan, who was both an accomplished sarangi player and a vocalist, and like his father he often contributes vocal 'Amir khani' nuances to his performances.

Sultan Khan gave his first performance at the All-India Conference at the age of 11. He has won numerous musical awards, including being a recipient twice of the Sangeet Natya Academy Award (the President's Award). He performed along with Ravi Shankar on George Harrison's 1974 Dark Horse World Tour. In 1997 he had the honour of playing for Prince Charles' 50th birthday celebration. He has composed and recorded music for films such as In Custody and Gandhi. But his true devotion and love lie in playing the classical music of India.

Sultan Khan is joined in duet by Ikram Khan, who was born in Jaipur to a family of Rajasthani musicians. Introduced to the sarangi in his youth, he became a pupil of Sultan Khan.

Ikram was employed for ten years by All India Radio and took part in many concerts and festivals of classical music within the ambit of television. Since 1994 he has regularly visited Europe as a soloist. This meeting with the West has made him aware of the potential for exchange which exists between these two cultures through music. As well as being an ambassador for the sarangi, Ikram shares his knowledge of Indian music as a member of the performing group Kabul Workshop, a vehicle for musical research and a bridge between cultures. It was formed by Francesco Russo from Italy and Khaled Arman from Afghanistan, who met in 1998, complemented by other musicians from Afghanistan and Morocco.
