Welcome Mehrnam Rastegari for her Chicago debut with a Persian Music Salon at Elastic Arts on May 12th!
Presented by People of Rhythm and BIYA BIYA, this culturally rooted evening features a traditional set of Iranian music. Steeped in the sweet vibes of an intimate salon, the night also centers local musicians, poetry, and a mini arts market.
NYC-based Persian musician Mehrnam Rastegari is a master Kamancheh player, singer, violinist, and award-winning composer whose sound pushes Persian music into bold, modern directions. Her work threads Persian microtonal tradition through rock, psych, and contemporary styles, creating performances that feel deeply expressive.
