Kayhan Kalhor & Brooklyn Rider

Kayhan Kalhor & Brooklyn Rider
Kayhan Kalhor is an acclaimed Persian musician and a founding member of Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road Ensemble. A virtuoso on the kamancheh (spike fiddle), his performances of traditional Persian music and his unique collaborations have attracted audiences around the globe. In his SMF debut, Kalhor will be performing with the string quartet Brooklyn Rider, an adventurous, genre-defying string quartet that combines a wildly eclectic repertoire with a gripping performance style that is attracting legions of fans and drawing critical acclaim from music reviewers from all genres. NPR credits Brooklyn Rider with “recreating the 300-year-old form of string quartet as a vital and creative 21st-century ensemble.” The musicians play in concert halls and clubs, in venues as varied as Joe’s Pub in New York City, the San Francisco Jazz Festival, Todai-ji Temple in Japan, the Library of Congress and SxSW. In addition to multiple performances, Brooklyn Rider will be teaching young musicians during SMF’s Acoustic Music Seminar.
