Kayhan Kalhor and Brooklyn Rider, Friday, Oct 29, 2021 8:00 PM

Hailed as “the future of chamber music” (Strings), Brooklyn Rider makes their overdue Walker debut in a special collaboration with Kayhan Kalhor, the Kurdish Iranian master of the Persian kamancheh (spike fiddle) and member of Yo-Yo Ma’s acclaimed Silk Road Ensemble. This eclectic and inspired evening of contemporary-meets-classical music includes Kalhor’s Silent City, a piece commemorating the Iraqi Kurdish city of Halabja, which was destroyed in a chemical attack. Championing art’s global value in a violent world, the richly nuanced and mesmerizing concert leaves a hauntingly powerful afterglow.
