Washington Performing Arts presents an evening where the musical worlds of Central Asia, China, the Middle East, and contemporary Europe meet in striking and unexpected harmony. Five performers from the Aga Khan Master Musicians—an artistic collective dedicated to living musical traditions—are joined by celebrated French artist Vincent Peirani. Syrian-born Basel Rajoub has reimagined an entirely new vocabulary for the saxophone; his compatriot Feras Charestan commands the qanun, the shimmering Middle Eastern plucked zither. Turkish oud master Yurdal Tokcan and Uzbek percussionist Abbos Kosimov, a virtuoso on the doira frame drum, complete the collective’s lineup. They are joined by Vincent Peirani, award-winning accordionist, singer, and composer whose work spans jazz, contemporary music, and improvisation.
