As Sufism urges unity and harmony and brings together eastern and western philosophy, in this programme traditional Persian music embraces Johann Sebastian Bach. Together with Iranian singer Haleh Seyfizadeh and tar player Ali Ghamsari, the Dutch theorbo virtuoso David Mackor, and the Canadian soprano Elisabeth Hetherington, the Netherlands Wind Ensemble will perform an oriental Bach in an intimate embrace with old Persian music. The unifying work was composed by Mathilde Wantenaar, whose depth and engagement set her apart from the competition during the NWE composing contests.

COMPOSITION: JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH, ALI GHAMSARI, MATHILDE WANTENAAR
TAR: ALI GHAMSARI
VOCALS: HALEH SEYFIZADEH, ELISABETH HETHERINGTON
