As they explore these questions and more, they will engage in musical conversations that draw on their personal stories, curiosity, and intuitive, empathetic communication.

This groundbreaking approach allows for the creation of a polyphonic texture in hiscompositions, that evoke the melodic vocabulary of Iranian and Arabic music, seamlessly intertwining these elements in a modern jazz style while still honoring the traditional aspects.
