Sufi’s Saraband - The Modal Experience Ensemble

Zarb meets harpsichord, Sufi ritual crosses baroque ornament: the Chemiranis build bridges that reach straight into heaven De Chemirani-brothers left a crushing impression a few seasons ago with their breathtaking zarb playing. Now Keyvan and Bijan return with an ensemble that makes Sufi tradition and baroque music collide. Think: Persian chants on archlute, lyre, and harpsichord. Virtuoso percussion meets baroque finesse in a mesmerizing ritual in which the art of ornamentation fuels the trance. Not a fan of fusion? Try it anyway: baroque and Sufi appear to have always been neighbors, it only took an enlightened mind to open the door to the entrance hall.
