Events Description
Join Amir Amiri and Elham Manouchehri for Fire and Silk — a mesmerizing afternoon of Persian music at Studio Bell, home of the National Music Centre.
Featuring acclaimed artists Amir Amiri on santur (Persian hammered dulcimer) and Elham Manouchehri on voice and tar (long-necked lute), Fire and Silk is a testament to the richness and depth of Persian musical heritage, tracing its melodic and rhythmic threads along the ancient Silk Roads through the heart of the Persian Empire. This cultural journey highlights the santur — revered as the grandfather of the piano — and its pivotal role in shaping the evolution of keyboard instruments. Let the warmth of fire and the delicacy of silk guide you through a timeless musical experience where history, innovation, and improvisation meet.
