Nazeri and Moradi Group in concert
Χωρίς Τίτλο
Shahram Nazeri, Iran’s leading vocalist, is making his Greek debut alongside his fellow Iranian Kurd, the virtuoso of the three-stringed tambour, Ali Akbar Moradi. Two priceless chapters in the history of a nation whose rich musical tradition has proved resilient to efforts to restrict artistic expression: song is not wrested so easily from its people’s hearts. Two musicians who imbue everything they sing and play with such breathtaking sensibility that even religious songs can set audiences’ blood pulsing through their veins. Shahram Nazeri – who has been called “Persia’s nightingale” and an “Iranian Pavarotti”, the first by the New York Times – has blazed a new trail in Persian classical music by setting the verses of the Sufi poets Rumi and Hafiz to music. Accompanying them on the journey, the percussion virtuoso Pejman Hadadi, and the lyrist Matthaios Tsachourides, a musician of the Greek diaspora [L.Α.].
