TAAK ENSEMLE at Pars Place!
Saturday, Oct 15th
During these difficult times, the need for supporting one another is felt more than ever. We hope this performance of classical Persian music, which is the most suppressed form of art in Iran, provides a space for our Iranian-American community to come together in solidarity with our fellow Iranians. With a heavy heart, yet a hopeful mind, we are looking forward to seeing you all…
Taak Ensemble is dedicating the majority of this performance to music pieces with Hafez poems. Vocalist and music faculty at Soka University of America, Hesam Abedini, Santur player and a graduate of Tehran Music Conservatory, Mahtab Nadalian, will be joined by Tar player, Ebrahim Poustinchi, and Tombak player, Rambod Dargahi, to perform classical and folkloric Persian music.

In her new book, Thirty Three Birds, Taraneh Habib brings together a beautiful collection of sixty of her collages and short poems.
Collage is a fascinating art form. It glues together different pieces from different contexts, different times. Its beauty lies in assembling the seemingly disparate into a cohesive work. It draws on what came before it, thus acknowledging or even honoring the past. In combining the pieces, a totally new an synergistic work is created. What is delightful and liberating in this art form is that the artist gets to choose the context (background) and the desired elements from past works. Similarly she has the distinct choice to leave behind the undesired elements and backgrounds.
