“Electrifying spontaneity … a once-in-a-lifetime experience.” –The Plain Dealer
Following previous sold-out tours, this edition of Masters of Persian Music features Hossein Alizadeh, the tar (plucked lute) maestro who is considered an inspiration to an entire generation of Iran’s musical culture; Kayhan Kalhor, the kamancheh (spike-fiddle) virtuoso and creative force in today’s music scene who through his many musical collaborations with cellist Yo-Yo Ma and others has been instrumental in popularizing Persian music in the West; and the remarkable young vocalist Hamid Reza Nourbakhsh, the leading disciple of the renowned Mohammad Reza Shajarian. Alizadeh, Kalhor, Nourbakhsh, and a seven-member ensemble will be touring in North America, weaving mystical Persian poetry of Rumi, Hafiz, and others with luscious Persian melodies.
