REQUEST FOR PUBLIC SUPPORT
Ali Akbar College of Music presents
The ALI AKBAR KHAN LIBRARY
Dear Friends,
REQUEST FOR PUBLIC SUPPORT
Ali Akbar College of Music presents
The ALI AKBAR KHAN LIBRARY
Dear Friends,
For the last 40 years, the AACM has been the leading institution for the teaching and performance of
Indian classical music in the Bay Area. Now we are beginning a new phase of the college: a public library.
Many of you know of the illustrious sarode legend, Maestro Ali Akbar Khansahib, and his Ali Akbar
College of Music located in San Rafael, California. Teaching along with Khansahib for the past 27 years
is the formidable tabla great, Pandit Swapan Chaudhuri. Past teachers include: Ustad Zakir Hussain,
Pandit Nikhil Banerjee, Ustad Aashish Khan and many more.
In 2007 we began work on one of our most exciting projects to date; the archiving and preservation of 6,000 hours of
audio recordings of Khansahib’s classes and concerts to be housed in a public library on the AACM campus. We were
very fortunate to have received an initial grant of $150,000 from the James Irvine Foundation to partially fund this
project for a 2 year period. We have also received a very generous $10,000 award from the Rex Foundation, and $15,000
from individual donations totaling $175,000.
Our budget for this phase of the library is $375,000. We are still $200,000 short of our goal.
The staff and students of the AACM are asking for you to invest in the future by adding your financial support to this unprecedented
library. Any amount will help. The library will provide you and your children with 40 years of classes taught directly by Ali Akbar Khansahib, along with tabla classes, videos, articles, reviews, photos, and over 1,000 concerts to listen to. Khansahib is known as the “musician’s musician”. His depth of musical knowledge and the rigorous training he received from his father and Guru, Acharya Baba Allauddin Khan, have put him on an unsurpassed level of excellence.
We at the AACM are dedicated to preserving this
legacy in a public library. With your help, we can
make this a reality. If you are interested in
becoming a part of this exciting library and would
like to donate money, time or ideas to the AACM
Library Project,
please contact Mary Khan at
mary@aacm.org, go to www.aacm.org or phone
415 454-6372.
With our sincere gratitude and thanks,
AACM
