A premiere concert of the World Music Series in collaboration with X DOT 25 Music Label — A Fusion Concert of Indian & Persian Music — Featuring Indian Sitar Maestro Habib Khan, with special guests Persian Vocalist Parisa Vaaleh, Guitar Maestro Matthew Montfort, Persian Multi-Instrumentalist Michael Nejad, and Satish Tare on Tabla.
Sitar maestro Habib Khan takes the stage with some of the Bay Area's finest world fusion musicians, carrying the deep roots of Indian raga into open conversation with world and jazz. He is joined by guitar maestro Matthew Montfort, Persian multi-instrumentalist Michael Nejad on ney, daf, santoor and piano, and Satish Tare on tabla. Persian vocalist Parisa Vaaleh's voice becomes an instrument in its own right — moving between pure, wordless line riding the currents of the ensemble and songs in Persian, including the poetry of Rumi.
An evening not to be missed, as you will be lifted and carried on atmospheric notes.
