Kayhan Kalhor, Iranian kamancheh master, and Erdal Erzincan, renowned Turkish baglama player, have entwined Persian classical and Turkish Sufi music since the mid-2000's. Their CD, The Wind, was released in 2006 and their collaboration has remained vibrant ever since.

Kalhor believes in the power of music to link cultures and bring mutual understanding, a message particularly important for his students, "Telling them about the music and the musical culture, considering the situation between our two countries, I think is very valuable".

They will be performing together in San Francisco on November 20 as part of California Institute of Integral Studies Public Programs and Performances.
