A profound calling from the heart, these songs invite the listener to delve deep within to the universal silence that connects us all. The ensemble will also perform lively folk and traditional music from Persian, Kurdish, Turkish and other sources featuring the etherial sounding Ney (mystical reed flute), Tanbur (ancient three-stringed long-necked lute), Chogur (eight-stringed long neck lute), Daf (large frame drum associated with Sufi rituals), Barbat (eight century Persian lute with a fretless short neck) and Tombak (Persian goblet drum).
