Kayhan Kalhor is a virtuoso of the kamancheh. A renowned Grammy-awarded grandmaster of this traditional Persian string instrument, he is credited with making audiences throughout the world acquainted with Persian music through diverse international collaborations. This season he presents himself in a new musical constellation with the Iranian-Canadian artist Kiya Tabassian, who is a virtuoso on the setar. Behnam Samani, one of the founders of the percussion group Zarbang, combines a staggering variety of rhythms with a multitude of different elements of sound. Although they have their roots in classical Persian music, these sounds are open to influences from other cultures to allow a wide range of musical expression.
