An evening with classical pianist Tara Kamangar
Featuring selections from her album “East of Melancholy: Piano Music from Russia to Iran” Footage from the 1925 documentary “Grass: A Nation’s Battle for Life” + special musical guests Praised by the London Evening Standard as a “huge talent” and by Gulf News as a “world-class musician who excels at blending the best of Western and Middle-Eastern compositions,” pianist Tara Kamangar has premiered numerous piano works in renowned venues across the United States and Europe. Tara’s Delos release “East of Melancholy,” recorded at Skywalker Sound by producer and Grammy® winning engineer Leslie Ann Jones, juxtaposes works by Russian composers with rarely performed pieces by Iranian, Armenian, and Tajik composers born in twentieth-century Iran. There has been a considerable interchange of musical inspiration in this region, given that much of the Caucasus was under Persian rule until the mid-nineteenth century. An honors graduate of Harvard and the Royal Academy of Music, Tara resides in New York City. 7pm doors // 8pm show // All Ages For more information, please visit http:// #LiveAtLPR |
