About this Event
Master of traditional Persian music and oud virtuouso, Hossein Behroozinia, joins us to perform with Toronto's best including Chris Pruden on piano, Scott Peterson on bass, Peter Lutek on reeds, and Arash Najmeddini on daf as part of the Experimental Link Series. The Toronto-based musicians are known for cross-cultural interplay drawing on modal jazz, classical music and Persian Dastgah. With Hossein Behroozinia's Persian classical compositions offering the point of departure for improvisation, a fascinating musical dialogue with forward-thinking jazz is set to emerge.
Experimental Link Series contemplates the Persian-Canadian experience by reinvigorating, re-exploring and re-imagining Persian traditional music within contemporary and cosmopolitan Toronto by inviting different musicians from the diaspora to collaborate and perform together. The series will explore connections between identity, culture, and musical creation.
Link Music Lab gratefully acknowledges the generous support of Canadian Heritage, the Toronto Arts Council and the Ontario Arts Council.
