Kayhan Kalhor (Utrecht)

About this event

Kayhan Kalhor is a Kurdish-Iranian master of the kamancheh, the bowed spike fiddle, and one of the most widely respected musicians to come out of the region. A founder member of the Silk Road Ensemble and a long-time partner of Erdal Erzincan and Ali Bahrami Fard, he works in the classical radif tradition and in Kurdish repertoire, with long improvised arcs that build slowly and hold a room completely still.
