    Passports: Early Music from Around the World
  •  

  • Saeed Farajpouri is one of the greatest living performers on the Iranian kamanche (spike fiddle). For this concert he is joined by Amir Koushkani, a researcher and master performer of the Iranian tar (long-necked lute), along with Hamin Honari on the tombak (goblet drum). They will perform Iranian music in a manner that is faithful to the style in which would have been presented during the Qajar Dynasty of Iran (1789-1920). This is the first in a season of concerts to which the 2019-21 series of presentations by Early Music Vanouver at Green College, Cultures of Performance, was prelude.
