PARISA IN CONCERT
MASTERS OF PERSIAN TRADITIONAL MUSIC
Rumi Music Society and 7 Valleys invites audiences
to experience the magic and mystery of traditional Persian music this Fall.
This program features three important figures in Classical Persian music who will be performing together for the first time.
These artists are playing an important role in
the evolution of this enchanting music.
Parisa,
Dariush Talai, Tar, Setar
(long-necked lute) is recognized today as one of the finest interpreters
of traditional Persian music. Talai is not just a
leading exponent but also a philosopher and aesthetician of Persian music. He
has invented a system of notation, codifying the concept of the radif, and also added a complete analysis of its
syntax and modal structure.
Houman Pourmehdi, Tonbak
(goblet drum) has been well known for his diverse abilities as a musician,
multi-instrumentalist, and composer. Pourmehdi's
deep understanding of the Persian musical heritage and his belief in exploring
new territories make him a unique musician. He has played a pivotal part in
advancing the Tonbak's role in ensemble work with his
distinct style in playing Tonbak. Pourmehdi
has won acclaim throughout the world both as a solo artist and as an
accompanist for some of the world's most prestigious and renowned artists such
as Mohammad Reza Lotfi, Wadada
Leo Smith, Rajeev Taranath, John Bergamo, to name a
few.
Parisa will sing selected verses from Rumi, Hafez
and Sa'adi -
