Amir Amiri Ensemble
This performance can be viewed through a watch party premiere at 7pm PST on Friday January 29, OR on demand in your Chan Centre account anytime until May 31, 2021.
Tehran-born, Montreal-based Amir Amiri’s relationship to the santur is spiritual, almost symbiotic, as he calls upon centuries of tradition with an instrumental voice fluent in the musical dialects of the here and now. He’s joined by Sardar Mohamad Jani (oud), Reza Abaee (ghaychak), Hamin Honari (percussion), and Omar Abu Afech (viola) for a program of his own compositions intertwined with Persian folk and classical pieces.
