Tabla maestro Ustad Zakir Hussain has been named for the prestigious 2nd ‘Padma Vibhushan Ustad Ghulam Mustafa Khan Award’. The award will be conferred on Hussain at a two-day concert festival in Thane and Mumbai to mark the third death anniversary of Ustad Khan, by his widow Amina Ghulam Mustafa Khan, on January 16-17.

On the second day (January 17), veteran singer Sonu Nigam — a disciple of the late Ustad Khan — will lead the music concert titled Haazri (presence) at the Shanmukhananda Hall, along with the award ceremony in the presence of luminaries from the world of music.
