Aga Khan Music Programme

At the inaugural prize-giving ceremony of the #AgaKhanMusic Awards, His Highness the #AgaKhan noted that music is a strong cultural anchor, “deepening a sense of community, #identity and #heritage, while simultaneously reaching out in powerful ways to people of different backgrounds.” This film follows the creation and development of the Aga Khan Music Initiative, which was launched by His Highness the Aga Khan in 2000 to help revitalise a part of global heritage that was fast disappearing. It proceeds to the transformation of the Initiative into the Aga Khan Music Programme, incorporating a mechanism for recognition of #excellence and exceptional #creativity, the Aga Khan Music Awards.
