SF’s Del Sol Quartet with Iranian and Chinese Masters(Thursday, May 21)

Join acclaimed Iranian virtuosi Siamak Barghi (kamancheh, tombak), and Arya Tavallaei (santour); Stanford University’s celebrated guzheng master Hui You; and San Francisco’s Del Sol Quartet (“excavations of beauty from the elemental”—New York Times) for an intrepid concert that explores nature, the cosmos, the “deep acoustics” of musical harmony, and an exchange of imagination and inspiration among Iranian, Chinese, and European improvisation practices. Featuring the music of Iranian composer Nina Barzegar (“each [Barzegar’s music] slid into … mellifluous melody … heedless-sounding glissandos, you wondered if the center would hold. But Barzegar’s compositional command kept it together.”—New York Times), icon of Central California experimentalism, Ben Johnston, and well-known Santa Cruz composers Ben Dorfan, Christopher Pierandozzi Everingham, and Jinwei Sun.

This event is presented as part of the April in Santa Cruz Festival of Creative Music.
