Overview
Drawing upon the rich tradition of thousands of years of musical history, the Eastern Sunrise Ensemble is led by Iranian classical percussionist Naghmeh Farahmand. The ensemble hopes to give space for the talents and voices of women from Iran and other nations who may still need the right to free artistic expression in their own countries.
