A VIBRANT IMAGE OF KURDISH MUSICAL THEMES UNDER THE POWER OF AUTUMN WILL BE REVERBERATED ON SHAHRIYAR JAMSHIDI’S SOLO KAMĀNCHA PERFORMANCE.
In celebrating the diversity and equity in arts and music in Canada and all around the globe, Shahriyar reverberates his solo instrumental performances on Kamānche (spiked fiddle) to highlight Kurdish musical heritage and present a part of West and Central Asian musical culture. In his Kurdish Kamānche recital, he shares a taste of Mesopotamian culture alongside the capability of the Kamānche as a solo instrument on every stage.
At Canadian Music Centre upcoming concert, Shahriyar will perform his compositions on Kamānche which are influenced by the beauty of Autumn (Payiz), and play an improvisation section that reconnects him to the Kurdish modal music retelling the contemplative and poetic story of autumn in Kurdish culture – the mystical image of Payiz in Kurdish origin it is a philosophy of LIFE, highlighting its points that spread between seasons and then circulated similar to the leaves when their colours in Payiz diminished and they return to the nature.
