Namād Ensemble connects contemporary audiences to classical Persian music. It was formed by five outstanding musicians who create original compositions based on both the modern and classical poetry of Iran. Passionate and haunting melodies that are performed Kourosh Taghavi on the Setar, and Saeed Kamjoo on the Kamanche and Queychak, poetically fuse with percussions by Mehrdad Arabi and Afshin Mehrassa colorfully creating the needed space in which the beautiful voice of Khosro Ansari tells the stories of our times.
Namād Ensemble is touring throughout California performing their latest original composition, OSSYAN, based on the poetry of Forough Farrokhzad and Siavosh Kasraei.
