Musicians worldwide have traditionally borne the responsibility of channeling the spiritual, and of being ambassadors of their cultural heritage. With this program, Kronos travels from the shamanistic performance of Korean artist Dohee Lee, to the varied landscapes and textures created by Afghan rubâb master Homayoun Sakhi, to Alim and Fargana Qasimov’s ecstatic spiritual expression of mugam from Azerbaijan.
