Frühling Im Blut

Sometimes pain crosses a line where you no longer know how to protest, how to empathize or how to make your voice heard. Where the spirit freezes... In days marked by blood and played out on the streets of Iran. In this concert, Parsa, Shahed and Arash let only a small musical "outcry" of what the people of Iran are currently experiencing resound.

This outcry is expressed in classical Persian art music (Dastgāh system) through singing and response singing with the setar, in free rhythm and in pieces with different rhythmic foundations, accompanied by percussion.

The focus is on improvisation, as this pain cannot be given a fixed form. The aim is not to explain it, but to make it tangible.

Shahed (vocals) has experience from various concert formats and choir work.

Parsa (setar) is a young musician and composer who has recently started his professional musical activity and plans to continue his studies in this field.

Arash (Tombak) is an experienced percussionist whose playing combines timbres and influences from different musical cultures around the world.
