My annual show commemorating the legend, Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (1948-Aug 16 1997). There are many great and talented Qawwali singers, Nusrat had shared solos with some in his own group, but there are truly none like Nusrat himself.
I miss you, 48 years was not nearly enough for an artist possessing your tremendous gifts.

We will also hear some echoes of Nusrat's ecstatic praise for God in Vivaldi's gorgeous exultation of God, his Gloria from c.1715 in a recording by the Canadian Ensemble Caprice as well as a unique Canadian-Syrian collaboration pairing Gregorian chant and Syrian Sufi music.
