Sufi Music- Parvaz-e Khial (Flight of Imagination)

​Concert Introduction: Parvaz-e Khial (Flight of Imagination)

​Music is the bridge between the soul and the world. What you are about to experience tonight is a unique meeting point between two profound streams of Iranian music: the ancient modal melodies of the Tanbur and the intricate structures of traditional Iranian music.

​The modal music of the Tanbur—rooted in mysticism and ritual—is among the oldest musical expressions of this land, echoing with the spirit of centuries past. These haunting, soulful melodies have not only shaped emotional memory but have also quietly informed the very foundation of the dastgah system in classical Iranian music.

​In tonight’s performance, Parvaz-e Khial (Flight of Imagination), we invite you on a journey—from the ancient resonance of Tanbur to the expressive complexity of traditional Iranian forms. Along the way, rhythm and tempo will serve as a shared heartbeat, connecting the timeless past to the living present.

​

​Let your imagination take flight.
