The Aga Khan Music Awards recognise outstanding creativity, promising talent and initiative in the fields of performance, creation, education, preservation and musical revitalisation in societies where Muslims have a significant presence. Awarded by the Aga Khan Music Initiative, prizes will be presented during a three-day free-entry ceremony that includes concerts, competitions and conferences. A highlight will be the participation of the Master Musicians of the Aga Khan Music Initiative, a group of artists who create new music inspired by the cultural legacies of the Middle East, the Mediterranean Basin, Central and South Asia, West Africa and China.
