Shahriyar Jamshidi - Kamānche
Programme:
Shahriyar Jamshidi reverberates the sounds of mountains in his musical journey “Pomegranate Seeds”.
About
A Kurdish-Canadian kamānche player, composer, and vocalist Shahriyar Jamshidi with a pronounced cultural background has devoted his artistic profession to the preservation and transmission of the Kurdish musical heritage. He is also well-known for his creative and masterful kamānche improvisations, both as a soloist and in ensembles. Since settling in Canada in 2012, Shahriyar has consistently sought new musical languages, thereby crossing cultures with his Kamānche recitals. He already performed at the University of Minneapolis School of Music; Amsterdam Cello Biennial; Festival du Monde Arabe de Montréal; Canadian Opera Company, and Windsor Symphony Orchestra. Shahriyar’s recently released album “My Sunset-Land ROJAVA” is dedicated to all WOMEN who joined the story of resistance fighters to defend Rojava (northern Kurdistan in Syria) and lost their lives there. Shahriyar has received several Canadian and international awards including International Society for Music Education ISME award in 2018.
