The rich sounds of Persia Ere Lievonen, Pouriya Jaberi + Seyed Ali Jaberi

If there's one place where the use of microtones is self-evident, it's in the Middle East. Persian music, especially rich in microtones, offers many possibilities and parallels with music for the 31-tone organ. That's why organist Ere Lievonen is joining forces with Pouriya Jaberi and Seyed Ali Jaberi, who perform traditional and contemporary folk and Sufi music. Both worlds converge in composed works and exciting improvisations.

Middle East and the West united in exciting improvisations

Persian music is central to the works of Rasoul Yari, Javad Maroufi, and composer and tanbur player Sayed Ali Jaberi. This player of one of the most sacred instruments of the Persian world has achieved worldwide recognition for his interpretations of traditional Persian and Sufi music. He is accompanied by his brother, Pouriya Jaberi, a virtuoso of Persian percussion who won prizes in international competitions at a young age and is now a highly sought-after musician in the Netherlands. The performance also features music by Armenian composer Ardashes Agoshian, who draws on the rich musical traditions of his native country.
