Our Sensory-Accessible Concerts season five opening performance features multi-instrumentalist and ethnomusicologist Mohammad Sahraei alongside our series host and pianist Jennifer King. Presented as part of the 2025 Prismatic Arts Festival, the concert includes Persian classical music on tar with ornamented melodies and steady rhythms, traditional music from Turkmenistan, Iran, and Kurdistan on dotar and daff with vibrant textures and cyclical patterns, and Western classical works that pair tar and piano to reveal resonances between traditions. Born in Iran and now living in Halifax, Mohammad is a versatile musician and scholar whose work bridges Middle Eastern, Central Asian, and Western musical practices. Known for founding ensembles such as Open Borders and Tillit, he has performed at the Halifax Jazz Festival, the Open Waters Festival, and with the Rumi Ensemble, among many others. Later this season he will appear with Symphony Nova Scotia in “Vivaldi Meets the Middle East,” which explores the intersection between Baroque and folk music. Co-presented with the Halifax Central Library and Prismatic Arts Festival, this free concert provides a safe and welcoming space for everyone to experience live music in a relaxed setting.
