Fared Shafinury (Persian Setar/vocals) and Eric Schneider (poetry)
This evening we roll out the Persian carpets, drink ruby wine, and sip sweet mint tea to the exquisite sounds of Persian melodies.
About a year ago, I (Eric) was in the lodge at Esalen and heard the voice of Fared Shafinury who was singing a Hafez poem and playing exquisite music. I was captivated and delighted by his powerful voice and a soulful and delicate playing of his four-stringed long-necked Persian lute called a setar. Our paths crossed again recently and I invited him to perform at an intimate house concert in Santa Cruz.
One of Fared's specialities is weaving a tapestry of the timeless verses of Rumi, Hafez, and his own lyrics sung in Persian and English.
Fared is an accomplished critically-acclaimed, award-winning composer, vocalist, lyricist, multi-instrumentalist. In addition to being a vertuosic Persian setar player he is also a masterful Santur player (Persian hammered dulcimer). www.faredshafinury.com
I memorize and recite the poems of Rumi, Hafez, Kabir, Adyashanti and others. I will recite some Rumi and Hafez poems with Fared and Krikor. Info on Eric @ www.rumicello.com
Bring wine, dessert or an appetizer to share, if inspired.
limited tickets available at BrownPaperTickets.Com, or at the door if there is space.
