Noor Zehra Kazim – 萨迦维纳琴 Sagar Veena
Noor Zehra Kazim 是巴基斯坦著名的古典音乐家。自萨迦维纳琴在 70 年代初被发明以来，Kazim 就是其唯一的弹奏者。她的音乐家生涯始终与保存和发扬传统艺术形式的决心紧密而深刻地交织在一起，是将音乐创新与文化传承完美结合的典范。
Kazim 出生于旁遮普省的拉合尔，她的父亲 Raza Kazim 是萨迦维纳琴的发明者——他是巴基斯坦著名的律师、哲学家，同时也是一名摄影师、音乐学家和音乐制作人。萨迦维纳琴是一种令人惊叹的弦乐器，它的设计独特而精美，让人联想到维奇特拉维纳琴（Vichitra Veena）和奇特拉维纳琴（Chitra Veena）。这种琴拥有比传统印度维纳琴更广的音域，音色深邃而温暖，可演奏出引人入胜的的旋律与细腻的装饰音，常常能够唤起人们内心深处的情感，因此也被称为“海之琴”（Sagar 在印地语中为“海洋”的意思）。
1971 年， Kazim 在伦敦大学亚非学院（SOAS）接受印度部门的负责人 Rajeshwari Datta 的指导，开启了正统的音乐训练；而后她又前往位于美国加州伯克利著名的 Ali Akbar 音乐学院学习；回到巴基斯坦后，她继续在古典弹拨乐大师 Ustad Shareef Khan Poonchwala 的指导下磨练琴技。
经年累月的严格训练和对卓越的不懈追求，使她的演奏技艺炉火纯青，也确立了她作为巴基斯坦最重要、最杰出的古典音乐演奏家之一的地位。在演出现场领略过其魅力的观众，无一不为其极富感召力的表达和对印度古典音乐的独特诠释而着迷。
为了表彰她在音乐和文化领域作出的无与伦比的贡献，全巴基斯坦音乐会议（APMC）于 2023 年授予 Kazim 象征最高荣誉的“终身成就奖”和“音乐女王 Roshan Ara Begum 金奖”。这些荣誉是她在巴基斯坦艺术界先驱地位和持久影响力的有力证明。
在跨越四十年的音乐生涯中，她始终以探索和创新为己任，致力于为这项音乐传统注入新的活力。现在，她与父亲一起管理 Sanjan Nagar Institute of Philosophy and Arts（SIPA），该学院由其父亲创立，旨在“通过知识、理性和验证，发现并建立一个理论和实践框架，努力为这个时代新兴的、更优越的文明做出贡献”。
作为萨迦维纳琴的唯一演奏者，Noor Zehra Kazim 演出的足迹现已遍布全球各地，而在本届明天音乐节中，她将首次亮相中国。除了演出，她还将带来一场讲座，分享关于这把她引以为傲的、独特而迷人的乐器的一切。
Noor Zehra Kazim, a distinguished Pakistani musician and virtuoso Sagar Veena player, epitomizes a rich legacy of musical innovation and cultural resonance. Born in Lahore, Punjab, to the eminent lawyer, politician, philosopher, and activist Raza Kazim, her musical journey has been deeply intertwined with a commitment to preserve and evolve traditional art forms.
Noor Zehra Kazim's musical lineage is profoundly rooted in her familial heritage. Her father, Raza Kazim, is renowned for inventing the Sagar Veena, a captivating stringed instrument reminiscent of the Vichitra Veena and Chitra Veena. Together with her father, she co-manages the Sanjan Nagar Institute of Philosophy and Arts (SIPA), a bastion of artistic exploration and education. Since its inception in the early 1970s, she has been the sole performer of the Sagar Veena, showcasing its enchanting melodies to audiences both nationally and internationally.
With a career spanning over four decades, Kazim has garnered widespread acclaim for her mastery of the Sagar Veena and her distinctive interpretation of Indian classical music as a non-Indian artist. Her foray into the mainstream came with her debut on Coke Studio in season 3, and she returned triumphantly in season 9 as part of Team Noori. Kazim's musical prowess extends beyond performance; she is also the mother of Ali Noor and Ali Hamza, the lead vocalist and guitarist, respectively, of the acclaimed band Noori.
Noor Zehra Kazim's musical odyssey is marked by rigorous training and relentless pursuit of excellence. She embarked on her formal training in 1971 under the tutelage of Rajeshwari Datta at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in London, England. Further honing her craft, she ventured to Berkeley, California, to study at the prestigious Ali Akbar College of Music. Upon returning to Pakistan, she immersed herself in the teachings of Ustad Shareef Khan Poonchwala, solidifying her position as Pakistan's foremost Sagar Veena player.
Kazim's musical journey has taken her across the globe, enchanting audiences in Japan, Norway, and beyond with the evocative strains of the Sagar Veena. Her ongoing quest is to explore and innovate within the realm of 'Sanjan Sangeet,' a musical tradition she hopes to define and enrich.
In recognition of her unparalleled contributions to music, Kazim has been honored with the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award in 2023 and the esteemed "Malika-e-Musequi Roshan Ara Begum Gold Medal" by Hayat Ahmed Khan, the founder Secretary General of the All Pakistan Music Conference (APMC). These accolades stand as testament to Kazim's enduring legacy as a trailblazer in the realm of Pakistani music and culture.
