The Art of Improvisation Iranian Contemporary Dance and Music
Saturday, October 22, 2022 at 6 p.m. | Conrad Prebys Concert Hall
Shahrokh Moshkin-Ghalam, Pejman Hadadi and Behfar Bahadoran will take the stage to explore the ecstatic art of improvised music and dance. Acclaimed as one of the world's greatest dancers, Shahrokh's revolutionary style will embody Pejman's masterful percussive expressions and Behfar's passionate motifs - based on the Persian classical Dastgah modal system and Maqam melodic phrasings - on Tar, Setar, and Tanbour.
The audience will be enthralled by this glorious celebration of Persian performing arts.

Conrad Prebys Music Center
The concert hall’s interior is an asymmetrical system of triangular surfaces that fold around the room in different directions to diffuse sound evenly through the space. Built of cast-in-place concrete and aluminum/glass curtain wall, the Music Center also includes a small, flexible hall for multimedia and music theatre works, a 150-seat lecture/recital hall and rehearsal rooms for chamber, choral, orchestral and percussion music. The building features the newest technologies in student recording suites, computer music labs, practice rooms and offices. Many interior spaces have views of landscaped courtyards and outdoor areas. The Music Center will present a range of concerts from classical music to innovative new works incorporating cutting-edge technologies. It will also be an education center, as budding musicians from San Diego schools will visit to attend concerts, clinics and classes.
