“...astonishing power and convulsive impact.” ★★★★1⁄2 Sydney Morning Herald.
Multi-ARIA award nominee composer and Tar (Iranian lute) virtuoso, Hamed Sadeghi brings a brand-new work Empty Voices. Through his melancholic and spellbinding compositions, Sadeghi offers a unique and dazzling dialogue between the tar, bass clarinet, double bass and percussion.
The quartet led by Sadeghi and comprised of internationally renowned Australian Jazz figures Lloyd Swanton and Paul Cutlan along with Iranian percussionist Sohrab Kolahdooz delivers a mystique work.
Influenced by Persian Sufism philosophy, Sadeghi contemplates the notion of Love, with a musical homage to ancestral Persian culture. Empty Voices has seen four sold out concerts at Sydney Opera House and Sydney Festival since the premiere launch earlier this year.
