Performing works from their upcoming recording, The Silent City, Iranian musician and composer Kayhan Kalhor and members of the genre-bending string quartet Brooklyn Rider create a boundless musical exploration, both ancient and contemporary, bridging traditions between Persia and the West. Last seen as part of UCLA’s sold-out Masters of Persian Music concert, Kalhor is widely recognized as one of the most masterful and innovative instrumentalists and composers in Persian music. A virtuoso on the Iranian spike fiddle known as the kamancheh, the Grammy-nominated artist repeatedly forges new musical paths collaborating with numerous artists such as the Kronos Quartet, Indian sitar master Shujaat Husain Khan and Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road Project. New York’s intrepid Brooklyn Rider is renowned for illuminating music in new ways through its fervently adventurous repertoire and raw and edgy performance style. Communicating on a thrilling new wavelength, Kalhor and Brooklyn Rider offer a fresh and impassioned take on ancient Persian improvisations and beyond.
