Bahar Movahed

World Music Institute presents
APR 17, Wednesday, 7:30pm
BAHAR MOVAHED
A stunning vocalist fluent in both Persian classical and Kurdish traditions performs and discusses selections from her new CD, Goblet of Eternal Light—a hauntingly beautiful recording she made with tanbur master, Ali Akbar Moradi that draws on centuries of Kurdish musical and poetic traditions. She will be joined by the tar player Ali Samadpour.

“Bahar Movahed has placed her Persian classical voice at the service of Kurdish folk repertoire in a way that is remarkable.”
— Kayhan Kalhor
