Join BHS at The Castle for an afternoon of Persian music and traditional Iranian instruments. This special event features Katayoun on vocals, Hedayat Shafeei on the tar, and Hamidreza Maleki on the santour and oud, offering audiences an authentic glimpse into the sound and spirit of Persian music.
The musicians will perform a selection of traditional and folk songs, along with instrumental improvisations. Throughout the program, they will also share insights about the history of their instruments and explain the structure of a classical Persian music performance.
This is a wonderful opportunity to discover a rich musical tradition in a friendly, local setting.
