Bismillah Khan

Indian shehnai maestro (1916–2006), born Qamaruddin Khan at Dumraon in Bihar into a family of court musicians, who raised the shehnai from a ceremonial instrument to the concert stage, played at Delhi's Red Fort as India's flag was raised at independence in 1947, and received the Bharat Ratna (2001), India's highest civilian honour.
