Absorb the rich and varied musical history of Iran in an immersive cultural experience. Hamsaz Ensemble—a unique multinational group brought together by contemporary composer Ali Samadpour–will showcase a small selection of pieces from five of Iran’s historical periods, going back roughly 700 years and ending with modern day compositions. This multiple-stage performance, carefully curated by respected Iranian scholars, will feature singing, dancing, and percussive elements common to each era, and is a rare opportunity to see and hear Persian performance as it was meant to be experienced—in a relaxed and informal den of pillows with friends, family, even era-specific refreshments.
