An Evening of Iranian & Jazz Improvisation Tickets

Step into the world of intercultural improvisation with An Evening of Iranian & Jazz Improvisation, led by composer and improviser Hesam Abedini. Formed in Tehran in 2008, the Sibarg Ensemble blends traditional Persian instruments—kamāneh and tār—with the flexibility of jazz piano, double bass, and drums. Since relocating to the U.S. in 2010, the group has grown into a trusted voice in contemporary world jazz, weaving dialogue between Persian musical heritage and modern improvisation.

Hesam Abedini’s Sibarg project has earned recognition across venues and festivals, including support from the Jordan Center for Persian Studies at UC Irvine and the Farhang Foundation. The ensemble’s 2018 release Cipher marked a milestone as the first Sibarg album and has since been featured on outlets like WNYC, KEXP, WFMU, and KFJC. Abedini’s work is celebrated for its intercultural collaborations and award-winning, community-minded programming that resonates with listeners in Southern California and beyond.

Upcoming 2025 tour stops bring Sibarg’s intimate musical conversations to stages such as CSU Fullerton Meng Hall, Butte College World Stages Festival, and Red Poppy Art House in San Francisco, inviting audiences to experience the warmth and spontaneity of Iranian/Jazz improvisation live.

Why attend an An Evening of Iranian & Jazz Improvisation? You’ll witness fearless musical conversation where kamāneh and tār meet piano, bass, and drums in improvised dialogue.
