Audiences turned up in large numbers proof of Karachi’s growing appetite for classical music and APMC’s vital role in keeping this tradition alive. Although listening to classical music is supposed to be an eclectic hobby, it still has the capacity to turn out crowds in urban areas. Founded in 1959 in Lahore, the All Pakistan Music Conference is a pioneering organization committed to the revival and promotion of classical, semi classical and folk music in Pakistan. Its Karachi chapter, established in 2004, has become a vibrant platform for both emerging and established artists. Izzat Fateh Ali khan is Son of ustad Fateh Ali Gawalyar Family from Hyderabad Sindh .
