The Annex

From mystical songs of Tanbour to Persian classical melodies that embody music across different parts of Iran.

Join us for an evening of captivating Persian melodies with a two-part performance. The event's first half features the soulful tones of Kurdish-inspired songs, with the evocative strumming of Tanbour players Parham Pashaei, Tannaz Dorodian, and Sarah Hosseini. Their melodies are underscored by the rhythmic beats of Daf Player Atin Cheraghchi.

for the second half, the classic notes of Persian music take center stage. The harmonious blend of Hazar Ava with a performance by Pegah Sherkat, Atoosa Nezakati, and Banafshe Farahmand. Misagh Khorram plays Kamancheh, Soheil Mahinpour plays Daff and Tonbak, and Ali Mahinpour plays Tar, further elevating this musical journey.

Hazar Ava proudly received 2 Silver Medals, the Best Female Vocalist and The Best Trio, at the Global Music Laurels Awards 2022 for their album “The Mystery of Nightingale’s Warbling”.

Don't miss this profound musical tradition from Iran.

In the spirit of storytelling, we pause to honour this land's ancient and contemporary narratives. We stand upon the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

Just as we celebrate the diverse voices of immigrant and refugee artists, we recognize the First Peoples who have woven this place's first and enduring tales. Their stories are a testament to resilience, creativity, and the power of community. As we come together from many corners of the world, may we always remember, respect, and learn from this land's stories.
