both the modern and classical poetry of Iran. Passionate and haunting melodies that are

performed by Kourosh Taghavi on the Setar, and Saeed Kamjoo on the Kamanche and

Queychak, poetically fuse with percussions by Mehrdad Arabi and Afshin Mehrassa

colorfully creating the needed space in which the beautiful voice of Khosro Ansari tells the
