  New York, USA - The international group Ghazal will be touring the United
States in the fall of 2003. Ghazal plays Persian and Indian improvisations.
Created and led by Kayhan Kalhor and Shujaat Husain Khan, the
Ghazal Ensemble has created an Indo-Persian fusion which blends two distinctive
classical musics: Persian (Iranian) and Hindustani (North Indian). Intertwined
for centuries in Northern India, these musics share some formal elements which
allow for an exquisute and harmonious dialogue between the two traditions. The
ensemble that will visit the US includes Kayhan Kalhor - kamancheh (spike
fiddle), Shujaat Husain Khan - sitar, and Sandeep Das - tabla
