A Mirror to the Sky

Join us for a unique evening of Persian classical music with the Nahoft Ensemble, performing live at the beautiful Pembroke College Auditorium Hall, Cambridge.

Blending the expressive power of Persian musical traditions with the refined textures of Western classical instruments, this concert offers a fresh and captivating soundscape. The programme features a collection of original compositions and arrangements by the ensemble—many being performed publicly for the very first time.

The ensemble brings together a rich combination of instruments and musicians:

The concert highlights a musical dialogue across cultures where the warm melodic tones of Persian instruments such as the Ney, Oud, Tonabk and Daf intertwine with the expressive depth of the Violin and Double Bass. Each piece has been thoughtfully composed and arranged to reflect this interplay, celebrating both tradition and innovation.

We warmly invite you to experience this musical journey, one that honours the past while resonating deeply with the present.
