Lian Ensemble – Sound of Mystical World Music
Friday, October 17th 8:00 pm
Based in Los Angeles , The Lian Ensemble is a group of virtuoso performers and composers. Their powerful compositions fuse the mystical Persian musical heritage with the contemporary sensibilities of contemporary Jazz. Combining a unique musical vision with dauntless dedication to experimentation, they create a synthesis of mystical world music composed of traditional and folk melodies and instruments. The Lian is comprised of world-renowned musicians whose diverse and uniquely versatile musical styles lend to this rare blend of mystical world music. Lian’s music flows effortlessly between a diverse range of styles and traditions, while fearlessly forging a path and sound that is all their own. Los Angeles Times writes, “The Lian Ensemble’s music-original compositions written and improvised in class on its own terms”. After much collaboration, the musicians have acquired the requisite knowledge of Persian music, and each adds their own distinctive rhythmic sounds to compositions, creating an exciting mix of melodies that go beyond the stylistic boundaries. In performance, Lian’s ever evolving repertoire of creative original music is expanded, rearranged, and examined with exploratory eyes at each and every concert.
