Where Everything Is Music: gems from the Persian tradition

ONLINE SALES ARE NOW CLOSED, BUT TICKETS ARE STILL AVAILABLE AT THE DOOR

Join us for the final concert of our 2016/17 season, an evening of beautiful music from the Persian tradition, featuring: Amir Etemadzadeh, percussion; Behzad Kiasat, garmon; Aydin Kiasat, kamanche; Claire Mackenzie, vocals; Nima Hafezieh, piano; along with the collaboration of Mehr percussion ensemble and guest vocalist Anita Rameshk. The program will present Persian music from folk to traditional, taking the audience on a journey from music heard today in the biggest concert halls of Iran to what would be heard in the streets of the oldest villages. This extraordinary glimpse into the rich and complex music of the Persian tradition will be an opportunity to bridge cultures and communities, bringing us all a little closer together.
