Saturday, December 19th, 9 – 11 pm
Alwan is privileged to host one of Iran’s finest musicians, oudist Negar Booban, in her U.S. debut and the final concert of “Women’s Visions: A Festival Across Genres and Traditions.” Partly accompanied by her own voice, Negar will give a solo instrumental oud performance in an expressive conceptualization of “the birth of the Sun”, based on the mythical images in Persian beliefs about “Yalda” night.
