The Sogdian Ensemble premiered its debut project, Tales of the Silk Road, a cross-cultural collaboration that brings Persian traditional music into dialogue with jazz.
Centred on the distinctive interplay between the kamancheh, an ancient Persian spike fiddle, and the electric bass guitar, the project explores new musical possibilities through improvisation, tradition, and contemporary expression.
The project features a series of collaborative compositions by both artists, reflecting their individual musical voices and shared creative vision while exploring the meeting point between Persian musical heritage and the evolving language of jazz.
