Mehdi Rostami x Illarra 2025

Experience an evocative evening of cross-cultural music with Iranian setar virtuoso Mehdi Rostami, as he explores the shared roots of Iranian and Indian traditions through improvisation. Each performance is unique, blending free-flowing rhythm and melody in a deeply expressive solo setar recital, sometimes accompanied by vocals. Trained by masters like Ostad Mohammadreza Lotfi and Kayhan Kalhor, Rostami has collaborated with global artists and released his debut album Melodic Circles in 2016.
