Modal improvisation based on the Persian repertoire “Radif”
14/04/2025–18/04/2025
LE QUARTZ, BREST (29)
Diving into the depths of Persian classical music’s Radif, Farnaz Modarresifar will propose an interpretation of this heritage through the art of modal improvisation.
This approach highlights the complex modal structures and subtleties of the connections between poetry and music that characterize this musical tradition.
Improvisation allows us to revisit the modes while respecting the foundations of Radif, thus offering a space for expression that is both codified and free.
35-hour training, open to singers, as well as instrumentalists able to play microtonal music.
In partnership with Le Quartz, Scène nationale and Ensemble Sillage

In this course, the contributors come from the main currents of modern Turkish music — popular, gypsy and classical music — and are among the greatest virtuosos in their respective art field.
For this training, we will be reunited on the shores of the Aegean Sea, in the beautiful port city of Ayvalik, facing the Greek island of Lesbos. A museum city at the western tip of Turkey, a link between Anatolia and the Balkans.
