Kayhan Kalhor & Erdal Erzincan — November 19, 2025 7:30PM
Presented by NOWMS.
In this rare meeting of musical masters, two of the world's foremost exponents of ancient traditions converge to reveal a repertoire of exceptional beauty and depth. Iranian kamancheh virtuoso Kayhan Kalhor and Anatolian baglama luminary Erdal Erzincan have been performing together for over a decade, first capturing their musical dialogue in the acclaimed 2004 recording The Wind. Since then, they have refined their collaboration into a singular musical language, intricate yet expansive, rooted in tradition yet alive with contemporary vitality.
Their interplay embodies an unspoken understanding — an artistry that transcends technique and invites audiences into a realm where music dissolves boundaries and speaks directly to the human spirit.
