In the Winds of time: The art of Persian Santour

In this program, Hamid Taghavi invites listeners on a musical journey through the rich traditions of Persian classical music, interpreted through his distinctive voice on the santur, a hammered dulcimer central to Iran’s musical heritage. He is joined by a remarkable artist, Shahab Paranj on tombak (goblet drum), whose dynamic rhythmic dialogue adds depth and vitality to the performance. Together, Taghavi and Paranj offer a musical reflection on time and transformation in Persian music, an evocative performance that honors heritage while embracing creative renewal.
