Bahar Badiei & Niloufar Shiri

Kamancheh player Niloufar Shiri and oudist Bahar Badiei come together for a program exploring the classical music of Iran. The program is based on the multimodal cycle system of Dastgah music and features works by composers from the 19th century to today, alongside improvisation and the singing of poetry.

Bahar Badiei is a New York-based oudist, composer, and educator from Tehran, Iran. Her work spans jazz, classical music of Iran, contemporary concert music, and free improvisation. Drawing from these musical expressions, she has developed a distinctive voice in both composition and improvisation.

All About Jazz has described her as “a master improviser,” describing her playing as “free of tonal constraint.”

A selection of her work and collaborations is available at baharbadiei.com

Niloufar Shiri is a kamancheh player, composer, and experimental improviser from Tehran, Iran. Rooted in Persian musical and poetic traditions, and guided by the practice of bedāheh and an interest in the immediacy of badīhiyyāt, her work explores the space between tradition and experimentation, creating personal and evolving sonic landscapes.

A selection of her work and collaborations is available at niloufarshiri.com.

Tickets can be purchased at the door.
Admission is $20.
All proceeds go to the artists.
