Parissa and Ensamble Live in Concert

Tirgan Festival is proud to announce that Parissa, the Grande Dame of Iranian classical music will perform live at Tirgan Festival 2019. The legendary Parissa is accompanied by her masterful ensemble of musicians including Pejman Hadadi, Ali Pajooheshgar, Amir Hosein Pourjavady and Saeed Kamjoo.
Parissa is a master vocalist of classical Persian music (radif) who continues to play a singular role in promoting, preserving, and elevating the best in classical Persian music. Radif is based on improvisation within a modal structure known as dastgah. Her skill rests in the extemporaneous vocal ornamentation of this basic melodic framework. Parissa’s innovative approach with soft, contemplative gestures in her voice and mastery of this form has won her a passionate following in Iran and abroad.
