Elshan Ghasimi & Philipp Püschel

In the organizer's words:

Shahnameh ("Book of Kings") is one of the most famous works of world literature. It tells the story of the history and emergence of the Persian-speaking world. The newly formed duo Elshan Ghasimi & Philipp Püschel are now bringing this epic into the present day and developing a new concert format from it. Elshan Ghasimi is a singer and virtuoso of the Persian long-necked lute Tar. Philipp Püschel is a trumpeter and enhances his instrument with analog effects and live electronics. Their starting point is "RADIF", the classical Persian art music. Inspired by the Shahnameh texts of the author Abū l-Qāsim Firdausī (940-1020), Ghasimi & Püschel enrich their dialog and broaden their field of vision by means of jazz, free improvisation of tar and trumpet and electronic sounds. Modern perspectives meet Eastern tradition.
