WMI presents Mehrnam Rastegari, a prominent Iranian kamancheh player and award-winning film composer who has been performing on prestigious stages worldwide. She moved from Iran to New York City in 2022 and immediately started collaborating with local artists from many backgounds. Rastegari formed a traditional Iranian music group of local New York musicians which includes traditional Iranian instruments kamancheh, qanoun, nay, oud, daf plus vocals. The group performs music from different regions in Iran sharing cultural diversity in style, language, music and dance.
