#Cinematic, Improvised, Unbound:
The Sound of Eishan Ensemble
Over a decade of touring has taken Eishan Ensemble across Australia, New Zealand, Europe and Asia, with performances at the Sydney Opera House, Melbourne Recital Centre, WOMADelaide, Auckland Arts Festival, London Jazz Festival, Rome Jazz Festival, Yilan Arts Taiwan, Baku Jazz Festival, Sydney Festival, Brisbane Festival, and the Perth, Brisbane and Melbourne International Jazz Festivals, among many others.
Led by Iranian-Australian tar virtuoso and composer Hamed Sadeghi, the ARIA-nominated ensemble performs Sadeghi's original music, drawing from the deep roots of Persian classical tradition while pushing into bold and uncharted sonic territory.
Formed in 2016, the group brings together a unique combination of instruments, pairing the Persian tar with Michael Avgenicos (saxophone), Adem Yilmaz (percussion) and Maximillian Alduca (double bass), musicians whose artistry and long-standing creative relationships have shaped its distinctive and emotive sound.
