A warm-blooded mix of musical traditions and contemporary jazz.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
In this playful concert, musical traditions from the Middle East are freely blended with contemporary jazz. Slide guitarist, harmonica player and composer Hamid Reza Behzadian, percussionist Háshem Kabreet and 16 young musicians take you on a musical journey full of unexpected musical encounters. Eight students from the Conservatorium van Amsterdam and eight musicians from the Middle East present brand-new repertoire that they created on the spot in two days under the direction of Hamid Reza Behzadian and Háshem Kabreet.
