About the Aga Khan Master Musicians

The Aga Khan Master Musicians (AKMM) are the resident ensemble of the Aga Khan Music Programme , a flexible collective of master musicians, educators, composers and arrangers whose practices draw on musical traditions from Central Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, China and Europe. Each artist has achieved mastery within a rigorous musical practice shaped by distinctive repertoires, performance techniques and pedagogical traditions. Together, they embody the Programme's commitment to artistic excellence while bringing the knowledge and experience of living musical traditions into contemporary artistic life.

About the Aga Khan Music Programme

Founded in 2000 by Prince Karim Aga Khan IV, the Aga Khan Music Programme recognises the vital role of artists and musicians in societies shaped by Islamic cultures and traditions. It regards music as an essential part of human wellbeing, contributing to dignity, identity, belonging and hope, while opening spaces for curiosity, dialogue and pluralism. By supporting artists and expanding access to high-quality music and the arts, the Programme seeks to nurture imagination, strengthen cultural life and enable sustainable livelihoods.
