The Leela Palaces, Hotels And Resorts Presents An Enchanting Evening Of Musical Majesty With Amaan And Ayaan Ali Bangash At The Leela Palace Chennai

India, 21^st May 2025: In a captivating tribute to India’s artistic spirit and cultural grandeur, The Leela Palaces, Hotels and Resorts hosted an exclusive evening with globally acclaimed sarod maestros Amaan and Ayaan Ali Bangash at their magnificent sea-side property, The Leela Palace Chennai—an immersive experience that paid homage to India’s enduring legacy through the language of music.

Part of a series of curated experiences with the Icons of India by The Leela, the evening celebrated living legends whose work transcends boundaries and embodies the essence of Indian excellence. The initiative first graced Chennai’s cultural calendar in 2023 with the same illustrious duo, and this return engagement brought guests yet another soul-stirring performance—an intimate journey into the depth and beauty of classical Indian music.

Mr. Nishant Agarwal, Vice President and General Manager, The Leela Palace Chennai, shared: “At The Leela, we endeavour not just to offer a luxurious stay, but to create moments that reflect the richness and resonance of India’s heritage. Welcoming Amaan and Ayaan Ali Bangash back to our palace was a true honour. Their artistry is deeply moving, and their music captures the poetic soul of Indian tradition. It was a privilege to present this sublime experience for our distinguished guests.”

Heirs to a musical lineage that spans over seven generations, Amaan and Ayaan Ali Bangash—sons and disciples of the legendary Ustad Amjad Ali Khan—are custodians of a sound that bridges classical purity with contemporary sensibility. Their performance offered a transcendent experience, where technical mastery met lyrical expression in a powerful celebration of Indian musical tradition.

The duo also curate Melodies by The Leela - a series of original compositions that form the sonic signature of The Leela’s properties. These bespoke melodies, inspired by the spirit and setting of each destination, flow through the lobbies and public spaces, creating an immersive ambience rooted in cultural luxury.

From Nobel Peace Laureate Kailash Satyarthi and former Miss World Manushi Chhillar to cricketer Smriti Mandhana and HH Sawai Padmanabh Singh of Jaipur, the Icons embody excellence, heritage, and vision.
