Strathmore welcomes Song of the North ticket-holders to a free pre-show event featuring the rich sounds and sights of Persian classical music.

Immerse yourself in digital displays of stunning artistic renderings of the Shahnameh (The Book of Kings), on which the main-stage performance is based. Musicians Miead Nikfarjam and Dr. Kimia Hesabi will provide interactive performances on traditional Persian instruments, including the Daf and Tabak, bringing ancient sounds to life.
