Join Mohammad Sahraei and the Open Borders Ensemble in concert at the Manning Memorial Chapel (45 Acadia St, Wolfville).

Mohammad Sahraei is a musician and ethnomusicologist originally from Iran, where he graduated with a Bachelors in Music and Masters in Ethnomusicology, as well as an accounting degree and an MBA. In his quest to understand the music of other cultures, he has done fieldwork with masters from many countries throughout the middle east and has published several essays on the subject. Mohammad has participated in many musical and cultural events in Halifax such as OBEY Festival, Halifax Jazz Festival, and Halifax Multicultural Festival. He has additionally produced a series of International Music Concerts in Halifax since 2017. Mohammad has live film scores and performances on his resume, and also produced and published an original recording entitled the Nahavand Album. Mohammad is the founder and director of the World Music Museum Society in Halifax.

From the words of Mohammad:

“It's an Iranian classical and traditional music concert. We planned it two months ago, but because of the current situation of Iran, we decided to change our plans, so now it's two parts. The first part is classical and traditional Iranian music and the second part, we chose some songs to support the protesters in Iran. Some of the songs are old and were used in different revolutions in Iran in the past, and one of them is new; right now, people sing it on the streets.

We try a lot, specifically my students, they try hard, for you to share our culture. We want to share our musical culture with you. So if you like the taste of Iranian music, please come and join us."

The concert will run for around one hour with no intermissions, and there will be an opportunity to meet, talk, and connect after the show with Mohammad and his group!
