Pejman Tadayon and Sufi Ensemble in concert in Rome, Italy April 12th, 2014

Pejman Tadayon and the Sufi Ensemble interpret ancient and mystical Persian music in concert in Rome

Persian musician and composer Pejman Tadayon was in concert in Rome’s Auditorium supported by the eight-member female Sufi Ensemble.  Tadayon interprets mystical music from artists such as Jalalludin Rumi, Hafez and Omar Khayyam as a way of spreading the universal message of peace and harmony amongst cultures and religions.  To do this, Tadayon uses original instruments such as the setar, tar, ney, tombak, daf and oud.  

The Sufi Ensemble instead proposes the spectacular Mevlevi rotating dance together with ancient Persian dancing.  Traditionally, this dance has been performed by men but Tadayon has wanted to honor the growing role of women in Iranian society under Iran’s new president, Hassan Rouhani.
