An exclusive online session for the Yshai Afterman student community — an intimate encounter with one of the great masters of Persian percussion: his playing, his musical journey, his relationship to the tradition, and a deep conversation with the group.
Pedram Khavarzamini is one of the finest tombak players in the world — a virtuoso whose playing carries the full depth of Iran's classical musical tradition. His performances are marked by breathtaking technical precision, profound musicality, and a rare ability to communicate the spiritual dimensions of the music.
This masterclass is not a lesson in technique. It is an encounter with a master — his playing, his thinking, and his life in music. Pedram will perform, share his personal journey, speak about the Persian classical tradition, his approach to practice, his relationship to accompaniment, and the deeper currents that run through a life devoted to this music.
The format is intimate and conversational — a live dialogue between Pedram and the group, with space for questions, reflection, and the kind of insight that only comes from sitting with a master musician and listening carefully.
