Iranian-Kurdish composer Kayhan Kalhor is an internationally acclaimed virtuoso on the kamancheh, a traditional Iranian bowed string instrument. The kamancheh’s sounds are echoed by cellist Yo Yo Ma as he performs Kalhor’s Blue as the Turquoise Night of Neyshabur. Listen with host Steve Seel, who also features multiple works from Iceland and a unique re-imagining of Brian Eno’s Music for Airports, on this week’s episode of Extra Eclectic.
