Description
Masters of Persian Music last performed to a SOLD-OUT crowd at Montalvo three years ago, and they return again for a special evening of music. Combine two of Iran's most important figures in Persian classical music with the next generation of masters, and you get a performance that transforms Montalvo’s Carriage House theater into a cultural Mecca. This concert brings together Hossein Alizadeh, the tar (plucked lute) maestro, an inspiration to an entire generation of Iran's musical culture; Kayhan Kalhor, the kamancheh (spike-fiddle) virtuoso who has popularized Persian music in the West; vocalist Hamidreza Nourbakhsh. Accompanying them: Nima Alizadeh on robab, Rouzbeh Rahimi on santur, Alireza Hosseini on tombak, and Siamak Jahangiry on ney (reedflute).

Make a night of it! Le Papillon hosts its annual Valentine's Day dinner at Montalvo. Dinner not included in concert ticket price.
