Chilliwack – Step into a world of mesmerizing melodies and enchanting rhythms as Amir Amiri takes the stage at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre for an unforgettable evening of musical artistry on February 6. Whispers of Persia isn’t just a performance—it’s an experience that transcends time and geography, offering a window into the soul of Persian culture through the evocative sounds of traditional instruments.
Accompanied by a talented ensemble, who have earned the number three spot in the Top 10 Worldbeat/International Albums, Amiri transforms the santur—a traditional Persian hammered dulcimer—into a bridge between cultural heritage and modern innovation. Joined by Abdul-Wahab Kayyali (oud), Reza Abaee (ghaychak), Omar Abu Afech (Viola), and Hamin Honari (percussion), they embark together on a musical adventure that delves into the rich tapestry of Persian traditional, folkloric, and dastgahi music of Iran.
This is not just a concert; it’s a cultural odyssey. Whether you’re a music enthusiast, an adventurer of global sounds, or someone looking for an evening of inspiration, Whispers of Persia is a must-see. Amir Amiri’s ability to connect with his audience, coupled with the intimate setting of the HUB Behind the Curtain, where you will be seated on the stage alongside the ensemble, ensures a night you’ll remember long after the final note.
