Shahrokh Moshkin-Ghalam, Pejman Hadadi, and Behfar Bahadoran took the stage to explore the ecstatic art of improvised music, dance, and theatrical recitation of Persian and Middle-eastern Poetry. Acclaimed as one of the world’s greatest dancers, Shahrokh’s revolutionary style embodied Pejman’s masterful and mesmerizing percussive expressions, and Behfar’s passionate motifs — based on the Persian classical Dastgah and Maqam melodic phrasings — on Tar, Setar, and Tanbour. Shahrokh Moshkin-Ghalam theatrically recited and gave voice to the poems of several Iranian and Middle-Eastern female poets to prepare the mood of this performance. The audience was enthralled by this glorious celebration of Persian performing arts.
