Multi-Instrumentalist Mohammad Sahraei

Our Sensory-Accessible Concerts season five opens with multi-instrumentalist and ethnomusicologist Mohammad Sahraei and series host and pianist Jennifer King. Part of the 2025 Prismatic Arts Festival, the program features Persian classical music on tar, traditional music from Turkmenistan, Iran, and Kurdistan on dotar and daff, and Western works pairing tar and piano. Born in Iran and now based in Halifax, Mohammad bridges Middle Eastern, Central Asian, and Western traditions. He has founded ensembles such as Open Borders and Tillit and performed at major festivals. This free concert, co-presented with Halifax Central Library, offers a safe, welcoming, and relaxed space.
