    Masters of Persian Music explores the rich heritage of Persian classical music and ancient Sufi and contemporary poetry. The concert features Hossein Alizadeh, the tar (plucked lute) maestro who is considered an inspiration to an entire generation of Iran’s musical culture; Kayhan Kalhor, the kamancheh (spike-fiddle) virtuoso who through his many musical collaborations, including Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road Project, has been instrumental in popularizing Persian music in the West; and the remarkable young vocalist Hamid Reza Nourbakhsh, the leading disciple of the renowned Mohammad Reza Shajarian, who will be touring North America for the first time. They will be accompanied by Nima Alizadeh on robab (lute), Rouzbeh Rahimi on santur (hammered dulcimer), Alireza Hosseini on tombak (drum) and Siamak Jahangiry on ney (flute).
