Residing in the USA, Kalhor tours internationally with both traditional programmes as well as cross-cultural explorations. He is also a member of Yo-Yo Ma's esteemed Silk Road Project. Percussionist Behrouz Jamali will accompany Kahor on his musical journey in the Black Hole Bistro.
This Terrabites event includes traditional Persian cuisine served family style. All tables will be in groupings of 10 or more, an intimate evening sharing with friends and strangers alike.
