Ali Akbar College of Music
2008 RALPH J. GLEASON AWARD
The mission of the Ali Akbar College of Music is to teach, perform and preserve the classical music of North India—specifically the Seni Baba Allauddin Gharana (tradition)—and to offer this great musical legacy to all who wish to learn.
The Ralph J. Gleason Award is in memory of music journalist Ralph J. Gleason, a major figure in the advancement of music in America in the 1960s, whose openness to new music and ideas transcended differences between generations and styles.
