Beautifully produced under the artistic direction of Master Kayhan Kalhor, featuring all-new music by master Kalhor in memory of the passing of beloved Iranian singer and cultural icon Mohammad-Reza Shajarian. Special guests include the stage debut of Hadi Hosseini.

The concert takes place in the singularly spectacular location of the Mahinestan House - which dates back to the Qajar Dynasty - in the ancient desert city Kashan, an important stop on the magnificent silk road that is full of history. The passing of Iran’s most beloved and admired vocalist M. R. Shajarian in October 2020 has left a country in mourning and an acute emptiness in the musical landscape of Iran. Shajarian’s voice was loved by over a hundred million Persian-speaking people and music lovers worldwide. He was considered a national hero and his songs and legacy are permanently and indelibly embedded in Iranian culture.

Lost In The Desert Sky: Kayhan Kalhor Ensemble In Memory of Mohammad Reza Shajarian was produced by Isabel Soffer and The Generators in partnership with Kayhan Kalhor
