We have a wonderful team of musicians
and singers, performing music and songs from the Persian, Arabic, Turkish,
Greek, Iraqi Jewish and Kurdish traditions.
In addition to work performed by our
regular team, the concert includes two pieces from an old Ottoman manuscript,
researched by our kanun player Mehmet Uğur Ekinci; Persian pieces
performed by ney player Iraj Emami and his Hamava ensemble; two Iraqi pieces
sung by Sara Manasseh; and a setting of a Jalaluddin Rumi poem performed by
