CHAHAR BAGH: Fourfold Garden Indo-Persian Musical Collaboration

Please note that our Winter 2024 in-person events will require masks due to the rise in COVID-19 and flu activity within the region. The MCC will provide masks to attendees on site, as needed.

Join us in the MCC Theater for a unique musical performance developed by Ehsan Matoori, an Iranian santoor player and composer, in partnership with Rajib Karmakar, an accomplished sitar player from India and based in California. This project celebrates the shared musical heritage of Iran and India while drawing inspiration from the symbolic Chahar Bagh concept, which emphasizes balance and harmony. This performance will feature Ehsan Matoori on the santoor, Rajib Karmakar on the sitar, Randy Gloss on percussion, Aidin Ahmadinejad on cello. Maliheh Moradi is their guest artist and vocalist.
