Friday Ethnic Music – SHIRAZ ENSEMBLE

Shiraz Ensemble was founded in 2014 by Sattar Soltanfar, consisting from talented young musicians from Shiraz, Iran. A composer himself, Sattar has collaborated with numerous elite instrumentalists and composers ever since. Shiraz ensemble attempts to create new atmospheres and aims to renew the rich potential embedded in Iranian
music. New compositions are interspersed with traditional improvisations according to the rules of the art of the Persian classical music. Both the Persian classical tradition as the regional and ethno-cultural diversity offers endless possibilities to get started creatively. the Shiraz Ensemble does it by connecting modes, melodies, rhythms and
metra from the different traditions in instrumental and vocal music with an anthology of Persian classical and contemporary poetry.
