Das Kalhor-Flaig Duo schöpft aus der reichen Tradition der persischen Musik. Ihre Kompositionen erzählen insbesondere von inneren Landschaften und überwinden Kulturgrenzen und Vorurteile. Die beiden Musiker öffnen Räume kristalliner Klarheit und pulsierender Energie; konzentrierte Meditationen führen zu Improvisationen voller Kraft und Virtuosität.
