Program

Jasmin Toccata Project features an encounter between European Baroque and traditional Persian music. Percussionist Keyvan Chemirani, lutenist Thomas Dunford, and harpsichordist Jean Rondeau create bridges between these different musical worlds as they juxtapose pieces of the great Baroque masters—Scarlatti, Purcell, Dowland—with virtuoso Persian compositions of sublime rhythmic richness.
