Join us for the third chapter of Crossroads of Sound, a project born from the vision of uniting local talent to celebrate and bridge the diverse modal music traditions of the Middle East, the Balkans and Anatolia. This edition delves deep into the musical heritage of Iran, weaving traditional sounds with contemporary influences.
In this performance, you will experience the artistry of Boston-based Iranian composer and tar virtuoso Alireza Khodayari, alongside the soulful vocals of Mahya Hamedi and special guest Malik Schilling on percussions. They will be joined by the Crossroads of Sound ensemble, blending Iranian dastgah with Western instruments like piano, violin, and double bass, harmonizing with the rich tones of tar, oud, ney, baglama, and tanbur.
This concert is expected to sell out, so secure your tickets!
