Vivaldi meets the Middle East in this engaging and immersive concert experience! Discover the intersection of baroque and folk with Persian and Swedish music and instruments. Mohammad Sahraei, a multi-instrumentalist and ethnomusicologist originally from Iran, plays the tar and daf, while our very own Kirsty Money plays the nyckelharpa in this concert of Middle Eastern and European classics. Symphony Nova Scotia also premieres Vivaldi’s “Grosso Mogul” Violin Concerto – one of the most famous concertos of the Baroque era apart from The Four Seasons – and performs highlights from Telemann, Purcell, Geminiani, Mozart, and more.
“Come on a journey of discovery as we follow the development of music and musical instruments from the Middle East to Europe, finding surprising connections between folk and baroque traditions, featuring the multitalented artists Mohammad Sahraei and Symphony Nova Scotia’s Kirsty Money, who is equally virtuosic on the Swedish nyckelharpa.” ~Julia Wedman
