Event Description

Tempos Of Illumination (گام روشنایی) Tempos of Illumination is presented and performed by Sarah MeeRan Cave (USA) on violin, and Saleh Mirsaeedi (Iran) on the Persian setar. Sarah and Saleh offer a unique blend of Persian, Western Classical, and Eastern traditional music. Tempos of Illumination invites the listener on a journey to the deserts of Iran, hills of India, and the inner migrations we all share. It will be an evening of unique musical nuances, offering an enjoyable palette of new colours, original compositions, improvisations, and warmth Both Sarah and Saleh came to Mumbai to study Hindustani Classical Music. By chance, they met for the first time in 2020 in Bombay at a music gig. Without ever having played together before, both performed together with great delight. Their collaboration is a work in progress, SALEH MIRSAEEDI Saleh Mirsaeedi was born in Esfahan, Iran in 1985. He has been playing the setar for fifteen years. His first teacher was Bahare Fayazi, followed by maestro Masud Shaari, and ultimately, the grandmaster Ostad Mohammadreza Lotfi. Having accumulated setar skills and Persian musical knowledge, Saleh then moved to Turkey for three years to immerse himself in new musical adventures and collaborate with musicians of different cultural backgrounds. In 2016, he visited India for the first time. Drawn back to India again and again, Saleh eventually settled in Pune 2019 both to study the sitar and help familiarize the local people with the setar. Saleh approaches music from an improvisational perspective. To him, any moment has its own vibration that can be translated to musical notes spontaneously within certain frameworks. Therefore, while he has mastered many compositions of Persian Music repertoire, he always plays them according to that very moment, and tries to add his own fingerprints in every performance. Saleh is currently visiting India again, happily studying with his guruji and enjoying the enrichment in music that only India offers. SARAH MEERAN CAVE Sarah MeeRan Cave is an American violinist, educator, composer, and healer who draws on the intuitive Arts to serve audiences, students, and clients worldwide. Sarah calls on her decades of experience to craft shared authentic, creative and nourishing experiences. She began violin studies at the age of three and continued studies at the Manhattan School of Music, receiving a full scholarship to their preparatory division. Influential violin teachers include Charles Pikler, Rony Rogoff, Anca Nicolau, Janet Sung and Marco Forniaciari. During undergraduate studies, she was the youngest member in the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, and also taught for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, conducting music clinics to youth orchestras. She has taught music both in the US and abroad, including Chicago City Colleges, El Sistema (Venezuelan orchestra outreach), ONA (France), Bangalore School of Music, and Kodaikanal International School. After studying Western Classical Music extensively through University, she was called to study Indian Classical music in Bombay, under Pandit Dhruba Ghosh, master sarangi player. Studying under Dhrubaji was pivotal and helped ignite her passion of fusing music and healing. Additionally, Sarah studied sculpture with Rhoda Sherbell at the Art Students League of New York and violin making at the Violin Making School of America. A natural intuitive, the interplay of the body, sound, and releasing of trauma interests her greatly. She has collaborated with Feldenkrais master and dancer/choreographer, Michel Casanovas (France) to create restorative workshops of sound and movement. As well, in 2020 Sarah launched SoundBar, a method through which she offers intuitive sound and energy healing on the violin and viola. She is currently developing a unique blend of healing that draws on music, Reiki, craniosacral therapy, meditation, and energy work. Still, music remains the means through which Sarah came to know herself and contributes to her resilience and inner confidence. In an attempt to empower others, she shares her story through the ongoing creating and touring of her show, Home en root, which combines original composed world music, narrative, poetry, and movement. Her healing work as well as her musical creations are constantly expanding her awareness, and her work aims at inviting people to feel at home in themselves and in the world.
