Great Neck Library is hosting a Sunday musical performance Iranian Traditional Music by The Chakavak Ensemble on Sunday, May 5 from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Main Library, 159 Bayview Avenue in Great Neck.
Enjoy an afternoon of traditional Iranian music featuring The Chakavak Ensemble’s founding members, Bahrain Sadeghian (vocals) and Shahla Nikfal (qanun).
The ensemble was formed in 1987 to advocate and offer an understanding of traditional Persian music to the tri-state area and has become more successful than ever.
Boasting performances in New York City’s Town Hall and Carnegie Hall, the ensemble has contributed significantly to the Persian music culture on the East Coast. It has also worked extensively with the World Music Institute, the Metropolitan Museum, and the American Museum of Natural History to create programming that showcases and teaches audiences about traditional Persian culture and music, among many other venues.
Registration is required. Great Neck Library cardholders and residents have priority for seating. Sign up online, in-person, or via phone beginning April 25 at 10 a.m.
Non-residents are welcome as walk-ins, as space allows. For more information, please contact the Great Neck Library at (516) 466-8055 or email [email protected].
