Hidayat Inayat-khan

Hidayat Inayat-Khan, the third child of Hazrat Inayat Khan and Ora Ray Baker-Bernard, is a well-known musician. Following his family musical tradition, of which his great-grandfather Maula Bakhsh and his father Inayat Khan were the highlights, he was violinist in different orchestras and string quartets, and also conductor and composer. He is the creator of the Message Symphony, the Gandhi Symphony, and many other works like the Suite Symphonique. At an age when people normally retire from work, Hidayat Inayat-Khan accepted the leadership of the Sufi Movement as its Representative General and Pir-o-Murshid, in complete dedication to its founder, his father, Hazrat Inayat Khan.
