Description
Shiraz Ensemble embodies a global perspective, combining their roles as citizens of the world and passionate artists to shed light on crucial socio-political matters through art. Drawing inspiration from their personal journeys as immigrants from Iran to the United States, they channel their experiences into a transformative musical narrative. Blending contemporary classical music with the rich traditions of Iran, Shiraz Ensemble aims to engage audiences and promote cultural understanding by fusing different musical aesthetics. Founded in Philadelphia, Shiraz Ensemble takes its name from the ancient city of Shiraz in Iran, a place of birth and upbringing for both its founders, Sina and Sepehr.
