}}Hayat Ahmad Khan (1921 – 6 February 2005) was a connoisseur and sponsor of classical music in Pakistan.[1] He founded the All Pakistan Music Conference (APMC) in 1959 and was its secretary-general for a long time.[1][3]

Early life and education

Hayat Ahmad Khan was born in Lahore, British India in 1921. He received his basic education and then graduated from the University of Punjab in Lahore. He later studied classical music at the Gandharva Mahavidyalaya, New Delhi Academy of classical music. He completed his master's degree in music there.[1]

Establishment of Pakistan Music Conference

After the independence of Pakistan in 1947, there was definitely a need for a formal organization on a national level to encourage the classical musicians/vocalists living in obscurity and feeling neglected. Pakistan's eminent classical singer Roshan Ara Begum was reportedly threatening to give up her Riyaz (music practice) of classical music due to lack of interested listeners in Pakistan.

So Hayat Ahmad Khan, along with several other music connoisseurs, laid the foundation of All Pakistan Music Conference back in 1959. APMC started holding a six-day music festival starting in 1960 where classical, semi-classical, folk and light music events (including ghazal evenings) were held to promote the cause of music in Pakistan.[4]

Pakistan's Dawn (newspaper) comments in 2014, "The event has a huge contribution towards introducing new talent to music fanciers of the country and revitalizing classical and semi-classical music through seasoned musicians and singers."[4] This music festival has been held in Pakistan for more than last five decades now. "Ever since its inception, it has been a constant source of inspiration for thousands of music lovers nationwide."[4]

  • President of the Pakistan Japan Cultural Association in 1981
