ANNA BUEVICH & MARINA BARSKAYA both are professional musicians of Euro-Persian Art Organization
Within this organization, we have gathered together a group of high-quality international musicians, which make up the Euro-Persian Art Ensemble (Euro-Persian Ensemble). Our group is composed of award-winning soloists from prestigious European orchestras.
The instrumentation setting of the Euro-Persian Art Ensemble consists of both modern western classical instruments alongside traditional Persian instruments with vocals. This combination provides uniqueness and cultural richness to our concerts. This instrumental setting gives an extra charm and color that fabricates a new experience within the realm of classical music. The Euro-Persian Art Ensemble is NOT a world music ensemble, neither is it a fusion or a traditional Persian ensemble, rather we aim to provide a unique contribution to the classical world.
Innovation & Heritage:
This combination of western classical music and contemporary classical music alongside traditional Persian musical elements and Persian traditional instruments will open many new possibilities and experiences. Including new instrumentations, new colors, new harmonies, new counterpoints, and new sounds!
We encourage our composers (artists in residence) to use Persian quarter tones and Dastgāh/Maqam/Mayeh for new compositions and new arrangements to create new harmonies, new counterpoints, new instrumentations, and new orchestrations. We encourage our composers (artists in residence) to write music that showcases the best that western and Persian traditions have to offer.
The instrumental settings of the Euro-Persian PopBand are very flexible, depending on the music event and project. Our pop band repertoire is more international, ranging from well-known American to European pop songs, and depending on our audience or a particular event we might perform different music programs including Persian pop songs that are nostalgic for Persian people who live in the diaspora. Western pop music alongside traditional Persian musical elements and instruments will open many new possibilities and experiences.
