Aida Shahghasemi is a Minneapolis based musician with roots in Iran. She studied Psychology and Anthropology at University of Minnesota with a focus on the cultural aspects of Persian Classical Music and the restrictions imposed on the voices of Iranian female vocalists. She received her Masters degree from New York University in Arts Politics where she also served as an adjunct instructor teaching a course she developed on arts activism in Iran. Sara Pajunen is an artist based in Minnesota, specializing in music and the sonic arts. Her work combines folk traditions (violin/hardanger d’amore/voice), still and moving imagery, environmental recording, and ambient aesthetics. Born to the immigrant culture of Minnesota’s Mesabi Iron Range, landscape, history, and cultural narratives are recurrent themes in Pajunen’s artistic output. Motivated by the interaction between a deep connection to ancestral roots and the experience of current American culture, she has released six albums using folk and traditional music as the basis for singular collaborations.
Live at the Carnegie is free to attend with donations to the artists encouraged.
