Kayhan Kalhor kamancheh
Erdal Erzincan bağlama
What Kayhan Kalhor does with the kamancheh, the Persian violin, Erdal Erzincan does with the bağlama, the Turkish lute: both are undisputed virtuosos on their ancient instruments, but they also venture beyond their traditional heritage. The music of both Persia and Anatolia often revolves around singing. These modern masters, however, delve into the sheer beauty of their string music.
Kayhan Kalhor and Erdal Erzincan share the stage during Requiem for Justice. This biennial cultural event is organized by Action for Hope, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and supporting cultural rights in the Arab region and worldwide. This year, the fourth edition of the event will take place in Amsterdam from 19 to 22 September. Featuring panel discussions, film screenings, poetry readings and concerts at Pakhuis de Zwijger, Podium Mozaïek and the Muziekgebouw.
