Treat yourself to the American debut performance of the elegant
Three Iranian Sopranos.
Nasrin Asgari, Shirin Asgari and Kamelia Dara have charmed and delighted
audiences since they formed their group just over a year ago with pianist Hooman
Khalatbari. Born in Iran, the singers met and became friends as students at the
universities of music in Vienna and Graz, Austria. Their repertoire includes
famous Persian folksongs as well as popular European Arias.
Lily Afshar is one of the greatest classical guitarists alive. Her solo,
chamber, and concerto appearances combined with her adventurous recordings have
earned her the status of one of the worlds foremost classical guitarists
according to Public Radio International. The Washington Post described her
onstage performances as remarkable, impeccable. But perhaps equally as important
is her reputation for expanding the contemporary classical guitar repertoire.
The evening will begin with a performance by Tehranosaurus, led by a rising star
in Iranian music Fared Shafinury. Fared is an Iranian American musician living
in Tehran and Austin, Texas. His music combines jazz, blues, indie rock, western
classical and north Hindustani music. It is Persian classical music, however,
that has always held a sacred place in his heart.
