Kamancello
November 4, 2015 8:00 pm – Salle Claude-Léveillée, Place Des Arts

In a show blending refinement and innovation, Shahriyar Jamshidi, accompanied by his acolyte Raphael Weinroth-Browne, eradicates the boundaries between East and West to give way to a magical conversation between the kamancheh, an Iranian string instrument, and the cello.

With melodies that range from melancholic to intense and fiery, this duo weaves a unique musical fresco that mixes the subtlety of traditional Persian and Kurdish music with the rigour of Western classical music.

Kamancello provides a rare opportunity to discover and savour an accomplished musical alchemy!
