Echoes of Change: Musical Perspectives on the Woman-Life-Freedom Movement in Iran

  • Asia Society Texas 1370 Southmore Boulevard Houston, TX, 77004 United States (map)

Echoes of Change is a collaborative performance debuting eight new solo piano pieces, inspired by a protest song from the “Woman-Life-Freedom” movement. Created and in performance by a collective of four pianists and eight Iranian composers — four residing in North America, four in Iran — this concert seeks to write a musical history that celebrates the movement and honors the bravery of the Iranian people.

This collective project is led by Iranian composer Badie Khaleghian and features brand new works by Bahaar Royaee, Parisa Sabet, Pedram Diba, and young Iranian composers residing in Iran. Other performers include Dr. Caroline Owen, Ariel Mo, and Dr. David Calhous.
