Sunday, December 11

Join Iranian singer, songwriter, and setar (traditional Persian lute) player Mohsen Namjoo for a workshop and youth jam. Hailed as “the Bob Dylan of Iran” by the New York Times, Mohsen Namjoo blends the Classical Persian setar with electric guitar and drums, rock and blues vocal techniques with Persian avaz (singing), and the ancient with the current. Namjoo is known for his unique style. Much of his sound is inspired by Persian classical music, ‘tahrir’ vocal techniques, and regional music of Iran, all mixed with his own satirical interpretation of music and society.

Events are free and open to the public!
