One of the great masters of Persian music—and a three-time Grammy nominee—Kayhan Kalhor returns to the Freer for a rare intimate performance on the traditional Iranian kamanche (spike fiddle). Kalhor is a longtime performer and composer with Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road Ensemble and is cofounder of the Masters of Persian Music, Dastan, and Ghazal (with Shujaat Khan and Swapan Chaudhuri). His many other collaborations have ranged from work with Brooklyn Rider and the New York Philharmonic to the soundtrack for Francis Ford Copolla’s Youth Without Youth. He is accompanied by Behrouz Jamali on tombak (drum).
