“...impassioned singing and meticulous
improvisation...” - NY Times
In this project composed and created by
Hafez Nazeri, Persian music icon Shahram Nazeri joins his son and the Rumi
Ensemble (Dave Eggar/cello, Liuh Wen Ting/viola, Pejmon Hadadi/daf and dammam,
and Shane Shanahan/Indian and world percussion). In the Path of Rumi integrates
classical Iranian and Western musical tradition, this transformation of
classical Persian music into an evolved form promises a future of its
own.
Celebrating next year’s 800th birthday of Rumi, this concert
launches the Sufi Traditions and Music: New Interpretations of Transcendent
Vision series. Renowned poet and Rumi interpreter Coleman Barks gives a reading
preceding the concert.
