Parveen Khan & Ilyas Khan

Franco-Indian siblings Parveen Khan and Ilyas Khan embody the living musical heritage of Rajasthan. Raised in Jaipur within a distinguished Indo-French artistic family, they were trained from an early age in the rigours of Indian classical music under the guidance of their father, renowned artistic director Hameed Khan Kawa.

A leading voice of her generation, Parveen performs rāgas, the melodic frameworks of Indian classical music, alongside maands—rare and endangered folk songs of the Rajasthani desert. As one of the few remaining custodians of this tradition, she is deeply committed to preserving and transmitting this fragile cultural legacy.

On tabla, Ilyas accompanies her with exceptional virtuosity, expanding the tradition through his pioneering practice of beatboxing. Beginning at just 14, he has since earned international recognition, including a nomination for the French Beatboxing Championships and collaborations with artists such as Alem, the 2015 World Beatboxing Champion. His global profile was further amplified through a viral Kit Kat campaign that reached 27 million views in 24 hours.

Together, Parveen and Ilyas create a vibrant dialogue between tradition and modernity—bridging East and West, heritage and innovation—while continuing to redefine their family’s musical legacy on the global stage.

Doors open at 6.30pm; performance starts at 7pm and finishes at 8pm.
