EVYIND KANG / JESSIKA KENNEY / ANDREW TIMAR / PEDRAM KHAVARZAMINI / ARAZ SALEK
LA/Toronto ensemble of violist Eyvind Kang (John Zorn, Bill Frisell, Secret Chiefs 3), vocalist Jessika Kenney (ASVA, Wolves In The Throne Room), suling player Andrew Timar (Evergreen Club Gamelan), tombak player Pedram Khavarzamini (Varashan), and tar player Araz Salek perform together for the first time in this rare concert appearance. This newly formed quintet explores the intersections between Persian and Indonesian (Javanese and Sundanese) musical traditions. Vocals, strings, flutes, and percussion interweave in a deep rooted tapestry, creating an inherently contemporary sound, while never letting the tradition or technique slip away.
