For centuries, Persian artists have been feeding the soul of Arabic music, imbuing it with their distinctive genius. Arab composers eagerly adopted the modes and structures of Persia’s fascinating and sophisticated musical traditions while continuing to develop and perfect them. Persians were equally receptive, absorbing Arabic influences that helped elevate their own compositions.
Throughout the ages, the two great rivers of Arabic and Persian music have flowed side by side and across each other, from Asia to Turkey to Andalusia, bringing the beautiful Persian oud, the Arabic daf drum and the haunting ney, the reed flute that accompanies the rituals of Konya’s whirling dervishes.
This beauty and refinement will be on full display as the Golshan Ensemble takes to the stage, with the powerful vocals of Habib Hoseini, Maryam Tazhdeh on the tar, Ziya Tabassian on the tombak, Hamed Vatankhah on the oud and Saeed Kamjoo on the kamancheh. It will be a musical event that plumbs the depths of the soul, revealing every nuance of the human experience.
