Ramin Arjomand Solo at The DiMenna Center
October 19 @ 8:00 pm
Pianist and composer Ramin Amir Arjomand presents an evening-length solo improvisation.
Ramin Amir Arjomand’s work is born of a complex interplay of cross-cultural creative impulses. His unique long-form improvisations achieve extremes of sound intensity, pushing the limits of spontaneous thinking while seeking simultaneously, and equally intensely, a compositional unity characteristic of fully-notated music. Their sound structure draws as much on a nineteenth-century European approach to piano resonance as on the unfettered sensibility of American avant-garde jazz. Beneath the surface lies a musical ethos that quietly echoes the Iranian dastgah tradition.
The event will last 60-90 minutes without intermission. Late seating will not be permitted; please be sure to arrive on time.
