Another amazing performance at the Musical Instrument Museum, tonight’s musicians were Sahba Motallebi and Naghmeh Farahmand. Sahba is considered one the best Tar players and although she now lives in Los Angeles she was originally from Sari, Iran where she learned and perfected her craft. My daughter Jessica who arrived yesterday afternoon was able to join us with me even able to find her a seat in our row. Like all concerts at the MIM with a focus on world music, this was only attended by maybe 180 visitors (in a 299 seat venue). My lament about attendance is that without enough support from our Phoenix and Scottsdale communities we will not be so fortunate in the future to catch these amazing performances that offer us such an intimate peek into other cultures.
