Music at MAG&M: Eishan Ensemble

“... a flawless combination, as evidenced by the fine compositions ….”
Songlines UK ★★★★

“casts a spell all its own… astonishing power and convulsive impact…” recording.”
Sydney Morning Herald ★★★★½

From Womad, Rome Jazz Festival to Sydney Opera House and Melbourne Recital Hall, Eishan Ensemble has performed at the most well-known venues and festivals worldwide since it was formed in 2016 in Sydney Australia. Led by acclaimed Persian-Australian tar virtuoso and composer, Hamed Sadeghi, the ARIA-nominated Eishan Ensemble draws on contemporary and classical music traditions of both East and West.

Eishan’s repertoire consists predominantly of Sadeghi’s original compositions with diverse improvisatory idioms featured powerfully. Variously described as “Persian chamber jazz” and “Eastern jazz fusion”, Eishan defies neat labels. Sadeghi’s psychedelic virtuosity is joined by the individual talents of Michael Avgenicos on saxophone, Adem Yilmaz on percussions and Maximillian Alduca on double bass to create the layered and sophisticated soundscapes of Eishan.

Tickets include tasty grazing table and complimentary wine by MAG&M Event Sponsor, Little Ripples (over 18 only).

Exhibition: The Water Understands

This event is on during The Water Understands exhibition, a contemporary interrogation of water as a life-giving element, whose importance to humanity has been examined from multiple angles for thousands of years. Artists make work about it, scientists experiment with it, and poets write about it. The gallery is open until 5pm. Not a Friends of MAG&M Member? Join here
