Behrooz
Part of Open Waters Festival 2022
Behrooz Mihankhah is an Iranian Canadian composer, pianist, and singer-songwriter based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Behrooz Mihankhah and his ensemble will be presenting music from his debut album Lydium. Inspired by his migrations through Iran, India, and finally to Canada, Behrooz Mihankhah’s debut full-length album "Lydium" takes impressionist and jazz compositions and presents them in an Iranian instrumental context. This collection of original and pre-existing pieces fuses musical traditions of the past with contemporary concepts of composition and improvisation.
