From Womad, London Jazz Festival, Auckland Arts Festival, Rome Jazz Festival to Sydney Opera House and Melbourne Recital Hall, Eishan Ensemble has performed at the most well known venues and festivals around the world since it was formed in 2016 in Sydney Australia.
Led by acclaimed Persian-Australian tar virtuoso and composer, Hamed Sadeghi, the ARIA nominated Eishan Ensemble draws on contemporary and classical music traditions of both East and West.
Eishan’s repertoire consists predominantly of Sadeghi’s original compositions with diverse improvisatory idioms featured powerfully. Variously described as “Persian chamber jazz” and “eastern jazz fusion”, Eishan defies neat labels.
Sadeghi’s psychedelic virtuosity is joined by the individual talents of Michael Avgenicos on saxophone, Adem Yilmaz on percussions and Maximillian Alduca on double bass to create the layered and sophisticated soundscapes of Eishan.
Funded by Creative Australia and Create NSW, their fourth studio album, Northern Rhapsody, was composed during a creative residency in regional Australia and reflects an ongoing exploration of inner and outer landscapes. Inspired by the textures and stillness of the Australian inland—its winding rivers, rock formations, eucalyptus scents, and vivid sunsets—the work meditates on connection, transformation, and belonging. Rooted in the episodic yet cohesive rhapsody form, the music balances intricate composition with improvisation.
