Tajik Music with Sirojiddin Juraev - Tradition and Innovation on the Silk Road｜Concert Introduction

Tajik Music with Sirojiddin Juraev - Tradition and Innovation on the Silk Road｜Concert Introduction

Located in the Central Asia, the geographical crossroad of East and West, Tajikistan inherits a rich, colourful urban cultural tradition from ancient Persia, the medieval Islamic courts, and the confluence of neighbouring cultures. The Grammy-nominated Tajik music virtuoso Sirojiddin Juraev will take us on a journey of this fascinating musical tradition.

The first half of the recital will mainly feature Juraev performing solo on the dutar, tanbur and sato, introducing their distinct sonorities and demonstrating their versatility to the audience with his technical prowess. In the second half, together with fellow musicians Shavkatjon Okilov and Bekhruz Naimzoda, he will present the jewels from the Tajik classical music heritage, as well as his own compositions, inspired as much by this tradition as by his wide-ranging collaboration with musicians worldwide. They will also be joined by local musicians Eugene Leung and Jessie Law with two of Sirojiddin’s original compositions.
