An extraordinary afternoon performance by a prominent Persian musician, award-winning film score composer, singer, violinist, and master Kamancheh player, who brings Persian music in new directions by combining it with rock and modern fusion styles.
Rastegari explores new ways to introduce Persian microtonal music to a wider audience, experimenting with new sounds that connect tradition with contemporary music. Her performances have taken her to international stages, including the Bill Gates Goalkeepers 2024 event, where she played alongside the Grammy award-winning artist Jon Batiste, and some of the most prestigious music festivals worldwide, including GlobalFest, Ragas Live Festival, the WOMEX (World Music Expo), Crossing Border Festival, Le Guess Who?
Furthermore, she has composed for over 10 feature films, theaters, and award-winning short films. Notably, "Dispirited" earned her the "Best Original Score" award from the Melbourne City Independent Film Awards (MCIFA), and she received a nomination for the original score in the Japan Kadoma Festival for the film "Rotten." "A Poetess" also secured the "Best Persian Film" award at WMIFF, USA. Rastegari is a valued member of the NYAO (New York Arabic Orchestra) and has had the privilege of performing at the United Nations Headquarters. She also contributed as a violin player to recording the music track "Mirage" for "Assassin's Creed."
