Masters of Persian Music last performed to a sold-out crowd at Montalvo three years ago, and now they return for a special evening of music. Combine two of Iran's most important figures in Persian classical music with the next generation of masters, and you get a performance that transforms Montalvo’s Carriage House theater into a cultural Mecca.
