Event
Mystical Night of Music and Poetry
Back by popular demand after last summer's riveting performance, the Lucid Art Foundation will create a third concert at the Dance Palace Community Center in Point Reyes Station, California. This year we will have an East-West collaboration featuring the guest musician, Banjo virtuoso, Tim Weed, and percussionist and musicians, Sina and Samandar Dehghani. The evening will begin with an invocation of rhythmic drumming by Fariba Bogzaran, who will later recite Rumi poetry and other mystical poetry in Persian and English. This entire performance promises to be an uplifting night of rhythm, improvisation, and poetry. It is dedicated to the protection of Mother Earth.

He has been teaching music for a number of years and currently performs in the San Francisco Bay Area and throughout the United States.

Fariba Bogzaran is the cofounder and the creative director of the Lucid Art Foundation. She is a multimedia artist and curator who integrates science, dreams, and rhythm into her art making.

Annually, she invites artists to create the "Mystical Night of Music and Poetry."
