Persian ensemble: open rehearsal
You are warmly invited to join us and hear how musicians from many cultures come together through the sound world of Persian classical music.
In this Persian Music Ensemble, we focus entirely on the tradition of Iranian classical music—its modes, its poetry, and its unique way of shaping musical dialogue. Our work centers on the core elements of Persian music: dastgāh, melodic improvisation, and the expressive language of rhythm. Students learn to approach this tradition with sensitivity, staying true to its roots while discovering how their own musical backgrounds influence the way they hear and perform it.
