Event Details:
At the conclusion of her residency at Stanford, Niloufar Shiri premieres new works for kamancheh and electronics by Stanford Graduate Copmposers Celeste Betancur, Nick Shaheed, Kimia Koochakzadeh-Yazdi, Brian Brown, and Mercedes Montemayor Elosua.
Shiri is a kamancheh player, composer, and improviser born and raised in Tehran, Iran, whose work bridges the traditional and experimental, weaving them into a singular musical language. Rooted in the Radif (the classical Persian music repertoire), Shiri’s music navigates the textural and timbral spaces of instruments' harmonic and sonic properties. Drawing inspiration from the intervallic relationships and pitch settings of traditional Iranian music, she analyzes and incorporates the spectral qualities of these extended intervals, uncovering their latent possibilities.
