Kayhan Kalhor is undoubtedly one of the most exciting artists to emerge from Iran today. With his truly virtuosic command of the kemencheh (a bowed, spike fiddle), an emotional immediacy as a composer, and a mesmerizing stage presence, it is no surprise that he has become a regular presence on the world's most celebrated stages. Born to a Kurdish family in Tehran in 1963, he was a child prodigy who was invited to work with the National Orchestra of Radio and Television of Iran when he was just thirteen years old. He crisscrossed Iran learning the country's rich folk music traditions, including in the northern region of Khorasan and amongst the Kurdish community. He also studied Western classical music in Rome and in Ottawa, and received a degree from Carleton University. In 1991, he formed the renowned Persian classical ensemble Dastan.
Kayhan Kalhor has a wide range of musical influences, he uses several musical instruments, and crosses cultural borders with his work, but at his center he is an intense player of the Persian violin. In his playing Kalhor often pins Persian classical music structures to the rich folk modes and melodies of the Kurdish tradition of Iran. His performances of Persian music and his many collaborations have attracted audiences around the globe. Born in Tehran, Iran, he began his musical studies at the age of seven. At thirteen, he was invited to work with the National Orchestra of Radio and Television of Iran, where he performed for five years. When he was seventeen he began working with the Shayda Ensemble of the Chavosh Cultural Center, the most prestigious arts organization in Iran at the time. He has traveled extensively throughout Iran, studying the music of its many regions, in particular those of Khorason and Kordestan.
Kayhan has toured the world as a soloist with various ensembles and orchestras including the New York Philharmonic and the Orchestre National de Lyon. He is co-founder of the renowned ensembles Dastan, Ghazal: Persian & Indian Improvisations and Masters of Persian Music.
Kayhan has composed music for television and film and was most recently featured on the soundtrack of Francis Ford Copolla's Youth Without Youth in a score that he collaborated on with Osvaldo Golijov. In 2004, Kayhan was invited by American composer John Adams to give a solo recital at Carnegie Hall as part of his Perspectives Series and in the same year he appeared on a double bill at Lincoln Center's Mostly Mozart Festival, sharing the program with the Festival Orchestra performing the Mozart Requiem. Kayhan is an original member of Yo-Yo Ma's Silk Road Project and his compositions Blue as the Turquoise Night of Neyshabur, Silent City and Mountains Are Far Away, appear on all three of the Ensemble's albums. His most recent commission for the Kölner Philharmonie will be premiered in October 2009. His performances of Persian music and his many collaborations have attracted audiences around the globe.
