Imrat Guitar Concert - Ustadt Imrat Khan - Sitar, Todd Ferris Mosby - Imrat Guitar

April 17, 2010 Concert with Ustadt Imrat Khan - Sitar, Shaaffaatula Khan - Tabla, Todd Ferris Mosby - Imrat Guitar

Community Alternatives Inc. presented a benefit concert featuring Indias premiere sitarist Imrat Khan, his son Shafaatulla Khan and his senior student Todd Ferris Mosby in a rare debut concert unveiling the new guitar of the future. The majority of proceeds from ticket sales will go to benefit homeless heart attack victims.

The concert itself was an unique opportunity to hear the senior member of the greatest musical clan in India perform and present his new invention the Imrat Guitar which will be performed by Todd Ferris Mosby. Mosby is currently the only guitarist trained to perform on this instrument. For 12 years they have been developing and refining the sound quality and technique needed to master this most amazing instrument. Imrat says the Imrat Guitar sounds better than a Sitar and better than a Guitar.

The culmination of this study has led to research and development of functional hybrid instruments such as the acoustic Imrat Guitar and an electric Imrat Guitar. As an Indian/Jazz Guitar virtuoso, Mosby is one of the few if not only guitarist to cross the line of eastern/western music in such depth. The Imrat Guitar serves as a unique bridge instrument allowing western musicians access eastern music and eastern music to access
