Experience the best of the Experimental Link Series with unique arrangements resulting from new combinations and genre-bending collaborations with the Persian diaspora and beyond.
Experimental Link Series contemplates the Persian-Canadian experience by reinvigorating, re-exploring and re-imagining Persian traditional music within contemporary and cosmopolitan Toronto by inviting different musicians from the diaspora to collaborate and perform together. The series will explore connections between identity, culture, and musical creation.
