Faculty Concert: Naeim Rahmani & SIP Ensemble

Bellevue College Music Department presents "Seattle-Isfahan Project:33", a concert of new music by Iranian and UW School of Music composition faculty. The pieces in this program were commissioned as part of the Seattle-Isfahan Project:33. The project and the commissioned pieces address the water crisis that is happening now in Iran, particularly the drought that is affecting the Zayandeh-Roud, the river that gave birth to the city of Isfahan. The project title 33 refers to the 33 arches that make up the most famous bridge, Sio-Se-Pol, across the river. This project is intended to both pay homage to the river and to raise peoples awareness about the drought and its
impact.
