Crossroads of Sound: Makam Journeys from Armenia to Anatolia, featuring Samuel Sjostedt
Welcome to the second chapter of "Crossroads of Sound"! Born from the vision of drawing from the vast pool of brilliant local musicians to bridge diverse makam traditions, our project continues to explore the rich musical tapestry of Anatolia, the Balkans, the Caucasus, and the Middle East.
In this installment, witness the magic unfold with Boston-area composer and multi-instrumentalist Samuel Sjostedt, accompanied by Crossroads of Sound’s wonderful ensemble of musicians. Diverse backgrounds converge as Western instruments like piano, violin, and double bass dance with the enchanting sounds of oud, duduk, kanun, ney, baglama, and kemence.
As Samuel's oud and duduk resonate, witness the enchanting journey through his original compositions inspired by Armenian towns, alongside the timeless works of Armenian master composers like Kemani Tatyos Efendi and Bimen Sen, and the contemporary brilliance of Ara Dinkjian.
This concert is expected to sell out, so secure your tickets today and be part of this transcendent musical experience!
