Iranian-born percussionist Bijan Chemirani learned to play the zarb from his father, Djamchid Chemirani, and his brother, Keyvan. His career began at a very young age, performing in concerts and recording with renowned musicians such as Ross Daly, Dariush Talai, Ballaké Sissoko, Jean-Guihen Queyras, Sylvain Luc, Sting, Socrates Sinopoulos, Serge Teyssot-Gai, Renaud Garcia Fons, and many others. At the age of twenty-two, he recorded his first album, Gulistan, Jardin des Roses, in Athens and Marseille, together with Ross Daly.
Of Lebanese origin, Rami Khalifé was born amid the turmoil of the Lebanese civil war in Beirut. Although he is best known for his reinterpretation of classical music, he has performed as a soloist alongside some of the world’s most prestigious orchestras, including the Globalis Orchestra, the Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra. Through a style that is as eclectic as it is bold, Rami has established himself as one of the most influential young composers of the 21st century. His career has also led him to compose soundtracks for films and documentaries. The Daily Star described him as “a musician of extreme caliber and pure expression… a welcome experimental deviation from the norm in today’s relatively conformist world of classical composition.”
Born into a family of artists, Albanian cellist and composer Redi Hasa began studying the cello at the age of seven. His first solo album, The Stolen Cello, saw him confront the instrument on an intimate level, establishing a deep connection that emerges in every track of the record. His second studio album, My Nirvana, explores a journey of discovery and introspection into the “grunge heart” of his musical approach, paying tribute to a band that has profoundly influenced him. Throughout his career, he has collaborated with Kočani Orkestar, Boban Marković, Bobby McFerrin, Paolo Fresu, and since 2012, he has been a member of Ludovico Einaudi’s band.
