The first half features Ustad Irshad Khan, a sitarist from the Imdadkhani gharana tradition that emulates the human voice. His performance is described as spacious and meditative, accompanied by Sanju Sahai on tabla. Following the interval, Pandit Prasad Khaparde performs khayal vocals in the Rampur Sahaswan gharana style. As a senior disciple of the late Ustad Rashid Khan, he brings technical discipline and emotional depth to the stage. He is joined by an ensemble featuring harmonium, sarangi, and tabla.
