Sibarg Ensemble
Persian/Jazz Improvisation
The Sibarg Ensemble explores creative intercultural music-making by combining the sounds of Persian music, jazz, and free improvisation. Through original compositions, arrangements of classical melodies and folksongs, and improvisations, ensemble members draw on their distinct musical backgrounds while creating a unique dialogue with one another. With each performance, Sibarg sets out to create a sense of becoming, as opposed to fixed identities.
Featuring:
Sara Saberi – oud & vocals
Hesam Abedini – vocals
Josh Charney – keyboard
Jordan Glenn – drums

ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
As San Diego Troubadour noted, Sibarg Ensemble embodies “an organic authenticity that reflects strong ties to both traditional Persian music and improvisational aspects of jazz.” Founded in 2008 by vocalist Hesam Abedini at Tehran Music Conservatory, Sibarg broke new ground as both the conservatory’s first intercultural ensemble and the first to bring together students from both the women’s and men’s music schools. Since relocating to the US in 2010, the ensemble has performed at UCLA’s Royce Hall, USC’s Bovard Auditorium, and the Carlsbad Music Festival. Their debut album “Cipher” (2018) exemplifies their dynamic approach to intercultural music-making, where traditional Iranian music and jazz improvisation interweave in an ever-evolving creative dialogue.
