Description

Norooz is the beginning of the year for the peoples of Iran. Norooz in Persian means "New day". It is the beginning of the year for the peoples of Iran.

It begins precisely with the beginning of spring on vernal equinox, on or about March 21. Tradition takes Norooz as far back as 15,000 years. Seasons played a vital part then. Everything depended on the four seasons. After a sever winter, the beginning of spring was a great occasion to celebrate this rejuvanation. It was the dawn of abundance.

Today, Traditional Iranian musical ensemble, Kamand, and Pangeo, in association with Iranian American Community Alliance (IACA), Invite you to celebrate the ancient Iranian tradition on Norooz--a New Year festival
that coincides with the earth's cycle of springtime renewal, rebirth, and rejuvenation. In Iran, Norooz is celebrated by cleaning the home,
gathering with family and friends, making peace with the troubles and challenges of the past year, and starting anew with celebratory music,
dance, and community gatherings. The universal themes of Norooz -- forgiveness, renewal, unity -- are celebrated in many cultures around
the world, in a multitude of ways. Please join us for a very special evening of Persian and Latin American music and dance, in recognition
and celebration of our common connection to the earth's cycles and to each other.

Pangeo, is a four member group based in seattle drawn together by a passion for greek music and music of the balkans. With a taste for old-style dance music they are equaly at home playing ballads from the mountains of Epiros in Greece, or lively tunes from the Bulgarians Yugoslavian and Albanian border areas. In the Greek tradition, as in many other cultures, the arrival of spring is signified by many religious and secular rituals that include music and dancing. Some of them survived since the ancient times with little change in between. Pangeo, along with the "Akrites" dancers from Saint Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church, directed by Vassili Dikeakos, presents music and dance with the themes of spring.

Christos Govetas, clarinet, voice
Ruth Hunter, accordion, voice
Kane Mathis, guitar
Will Dowd, doumbek, defi, daouli

From the meditative grooves of classical Persian music to the pulsing rhythms of Kurdistan, Kamand takes the listener on a journey
to the heart of Iran. As Seattle's only traditional Iranian ensemble, Kamand seeks to represent, musically, many of Iran's diverse regions.
The sheer joy of music energizes the group members' collaboration and a passion for promoting intercultural appreciation drives
their commitment.

Special guests Hosts will include:

Speakers: Mr. Iraj Khademi and Mr. Paul Plumis
