Artist Bio: 

You've heard of the Three Tenors? For enthusiasts of Persian music, the Masters of Persian Music are that big. The group consists of four of Iran's most celebrated musicians: legendary vocalist Mohammed Reza Shajarian (sometimes referred to as the "Persian Pavarotti"), tar virtuoso Hossein Alizadeh, Kayhan Kalhor (kamancheh fiddle) (featured composer and performer with Yo-Yo Ma's Silk Road Project) and Homayoun Shajarian on tombak (percussion). The Masters of Persian Music's past two US tours sold out every date and were met with huge media attention and critical acclaim.—Courtesy Calabash Music
