Tales from the Orient Live | Performance Highlights
Journey with us through an extraordinary musical tapestry as The Awakenings Ensemble proudly presents selected highlights from our recent "Tales from the Orient" performance. This captivating concert seamlessly weaves together Persian, Arabic, and Turkish traditional music with contemporary jazz sensibilities, creating an unforgettable fusion of East and West.
Immerse yourself in the mesmerizing sounds of "Hijaz Mandira," where Michael Edelby's masterful oud playing transports listeners to the heart of classical Oriental music. Let Kira Gunn's ethereal harp guide you through the original composition "Pour Me One in Silence," written by our own Esfandiar Shahmir. Experience the cultural bridges built in "Tatar Tanz" (Dance of Cultures) through Jessica Beahan's enchanting clarinet performance, while "Beneath Silent Skies" showcases the profound beauty of Persian poetry through the compelling vocal-piano duet of Esfandiar Shahmir and Michael Pignéguy.
The ensemble's performance has already touched hearts and transcended cultural boundaries, with audiences describing it as "absolutely extraordinary" and "mesmerizing." One attendee captured the essence perfectly: "I felt so connected to my fellow humans, brothers and our global community as a whole!"
The Awakenings Ensemble features Michael Pignéguy (leader, percussion, drumset, piano), Esfandiar Shahmir (Ney flute, Daff, Vocals), Michael Edelby (Oud), and Steve Richter (Vibraphone, Riqq), joined by an outstanding lineup of featured artists including Kira Gunn (Harp), Jessica Beahan (clarinet), Pete Jeavons (electric bass), Bob Tweedie (piano), and Jeremy Grieg (trombone).
