Concert

The celebrated Toronto-based Kurdish kamāncha player, composer and singer Shahriyār Jamshidi returns to Toronto’s Burdock Music Hall to reverberate the sounds of Kurdish musical heritage, highlighting the Kurdish mountain themes which spread from West Asia through Central Asia in his kamāncha performance while singing the unforgettable tunes with new arrangements from all four parts of Kurdistan, including performing his compositions.

Experience a powerful 75-minute performance that transforms historical evidence into a vivid journey of imagination. Josiah brings the ongoing legacy of slavery into sharp focus through bold storytelling and thoughtful interpretation. Named one of the Ten Best Productions of 2025 by Stage Door Review, the work creates space for necessary dialogue by illuminating truths often left unspoken. Period language and sound effects are included; viewer discretion is advised.

Violinist Sarah Westwick and pianist Stephen Smith present a thoughtful programme that brings together a rarely heard work and a familiar Romantic cornerstone. Central to the recital is the second sonata by Dora Pejačević, the nineteenth-century Croatian composer, pianist, and violinist whose music is still seldom encountered in concert halls. Richly crafted and emotionally direct, the sonata, names "the Slavic",  reveals a distinctive voice from the late Romantic era and offers listeners a chance to encounter a composer beyond the standard repertoire.

VUCAVU x Momenta Biennale of Contemporary Art presents "Underneath Big Skies", a online video screening program available from April 28 to May 12, 2026.

Curated by Mariana Muñoz Gomez, this project brings together emerging and established artists whose works explore the relationships between human beings, environments, and territories. As part of the Biennale’s parallel initiatives, it highlights the diversity of current contemporary practices.

The two Toronto-based Kurdish artist guests, Kazim Boran, Saz (Baglama) and Hezil, vocals, will join Dilan Ensemble, directed by the Kurdish-Canadian kamānche player, composer and singer Shahriyar Jamshidi, to resonate songs from various parts of Kurdistan in their trio concert at Annette Studios. With the power of improvisation rooted in Kurdish traditions, they can cross the boundaries of musical genres and create a spontaneous musical momentum that penetrates from the soul of the musicians to the heart and soul of the listeners.
