Following two prior sold-out engagements, three of Iran's finest musical virtuosos return to once again showcase the rich heritage of Persian classical music and ancient Sufi and contemporary poetry. The Grammy-nominated ensemble features superstar vocalist Mohammad Reza Shajarian, the undisputed master of Persian traditional singing and a national treasure in his native Iran. He is joined by kamancheh (spiked fiddle) virtuoso Kayhan Kalhor, who also performed at Cal Performances with Yo-Yo Ma on the Silk Road Project and has composed for such other illustrious ensembles as Kronos Quartet; tar (plucked lute) and setar (Persian sitar) master Hossein Alizadeh; and Shajarian's son, Homayoun, on the tombak (hand drum).
