Experience the unparalleled brilliance of Shahram Nazeri and the mesmerising Madakto Ensemble as they grace Australian stages once again, igniting a musical journey that transcends borders and captivates souls. Following their monumental debut in 2017, this eagerly anticipated tour will enrapture audiences in Perth (Octagon Theatre, The University of Western Australia, 16 Aug 2024), Brisbane (Convention & Exhibition Centre, Aug 23, 2024), Melbourne (Palais Theatre, Aug 25, 2024) and Sydney (Hillsong Convention Centre, Aug 31, 2024) in August 2024) during August 2024.
Renowned as a luminary of Iranian and Kurdish musical traditions, Shahram Nazeri epitomises artistic innovation and transcendence. His seminal renditions of Rumi's timeless poetry in the 1980s heralded a revolution, establishing him as the foremost interpreter of the Persian mystic's verses.
In addition to his illustrious repertoire in Persian, Nazeri's mastery of Kurdish melodies has garnered widespread acclaim. Revered compositions like "Varan Varaneh" and "Shirin Shirin" stand as testaments to his virtuosity, captivating audiences with their poignant beauty. Showered with accolades, Nazeri's illustrious career has been punctuated by prestigious honours, including France's Legion of Honor and the national Knights of Merit.
Lauded by critics as the "Persian nightingale" and likened to the legendary Luciano Pavarotti, Nazeri's influence transcends cultural boundaries, earning him global adulation. His contributions have been commemorated by the highest echelons of society, with February 25, 2006, immortalised as "Shahram Nazeri Day" in San Diego, California.
