Imamyar Hasanov and Pejman Hadadi

A master of the Azerbaijani kamancha (spiked fiddle), Hasanov began playing at the age of seven, eventually becoming the youngest soloist in Azerbaijan’s National Music Instruments Orchestra before immigrating to Virginia. Highly respected both in the U. S. and Azerbaijan, he will explore both the folk and classical roots of this amazing instrument with Iranian percussionist Pejman Hadadi on the tombak (goblet drum) and daf (frame drum).
