Gessner-Schocken Concert • SONGS FROM AKTAMAR • Jennifer Curtis, violin, and Niloufar Shiri, kamancheh

“Simply stated, this was one of the gutsiest, most individual recital programs I’ve ever had the privilege to attend,” The New York Times hailed violinist Jennifer Curtis’s Carnegie Hall appearance. Curtis is joined by composer and kamancheh player Niloufar Shiri for an evening of music that weaves together art and joy—and shows the power of a woman wielding a bowed instrument to fight oppression and forge cultural connection.
