CD Release Concert, Ossyan, Based on the poetry of Frough Farrokhzad and Siavosh
Kasraei. Namâd Ensemble connects contemporary audiences to classical Persian music.

both the modern and classical poetry of Iran. Passionate and haunting melodies that are
performed by Kourosh Taghavi on the Setar, and Saeed Kamjoo on the Kamanche and
Queychak, poetically fuse with percussions by Mehrdad Arabi and Afshin Mehrassa
colorfully creating the needed space in which the beautiful voice of Khosro Ansari tells the
stories of our times.
