Eishan Ensemble continues to entrance audiences around the world, and now makes its first appearance in Perth. Since its formation in Sydney in 2016, Eishan Ensemble has performed at leading festivals and venues including Womad, Auckland Arts Festival, Rome Jazz Festival, Sydney Opera House and Melbourne Recital Hall.
Led by acclaimed Persian-Australian tar virtuoso and composer, Hamed Sadeghi, the ARIA-nominated Eishan Ensemble draws on contemporary and classical music traditions of both East and West. Eishan’s repertoire consists predominantly of Sadeghi’s original compositions with diverse improvisatory idioms at their heart.
Variously described as “Persian chamber jazz” and “Eastern jazz fusion”, Eishan defies neat labels. Sadeghi’s psychedelic virtuosity is joined by the individual talents of Paul Cutlan on saxophone, Adem Yilmaz on percussion and Maximillian Alduca on double bass to create the layered and sophisticated soundscapes of Eishan.
