Join us for an evening featuring Galeet Dardashti (vocalist/composer) as she, along with her live band, presents “Monajat.” This performance brings to life the nearly lost recordings of her grandfather, Younes Dardashti, the most renowned Jewish singer in Iran’s history. Held near the traditional Selichot service, the concert offers a connection to the spiritual and musical traditions of Persian Jews. Through a mix of traditional and contemporary sounds and accompanying stunning video art, Galeet aims to honor and preserve her grandfather’s legacy. The program will continue with a multimedia presentation from Galeet and Danielle Dardashti (storyteller/documentarian) focused on their award-winning audio documentary, THE NIGHTINGALE OF IRAN. The program will conclude with an onstage discussion where the Dardashti sisters will explore their grandfather’s musical journey and its impact on their family. The discussion will cover the making of the podcast, the historical and personal narratives it presents, and the significance of their grandfather’s music. Audience members will learn more about Younes Dardashti’s life and the creative process behind the podcast.
