Saideh & Khatch: An Evening of Contemplative Music

The event has been canceled due to medical emergency. Please stay tuned through our music websites for future show dates!!
----

Saideh and Khatch are a duo of vocalists and multi-instrumentalists who honor their cultural roots spanning the Armenian, Arabic and Persian traditions. Their unique blend of music is grounded in sacred/contemplative and sound healing genres. By fusing their evocative voices with strings, woodwinds, percussion, and electronica, they imbue tone color and vivid emotion to the sonic journey space created for audience members, who often leave performances feeling calmer and more centered.

The duo will share pieces from their latest Persian & Armenian fusion album, Delbedel (Soul-to-Soul), while also offering new improvisational and contemplative tunes inspired by Persian, Armenian, and Arabic traditions.
