“A new sort of aesthetic that defies description... Clean, Tight, Creative — moments that are a kind of Jazz-meets-World; Jazz-meets-Classical; World-influenced-Classical.”
About
Hevreh's original music is the magnet that brings together a rich tapestry of sounds.
“This album belongs on the shelf next to your Silk Road Ensemble records.”-American Record Guide (Sep/Oct 2019)

Their concerts have delighted audiences and critics alike with appearances throughout the US and Europe, including New York City, the Newport Chamber Music Festival, Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site and concerts in Vienna, Berlin, Bonn, Amsterdam, Prague, and Krakow.

“‘World Chamber Music’ captures the complex, satisfying mix of sounds that characterize the Hevreh Ensemble’s work... a unique combination of sweetness and warmth and an unobtrusively propulsive beat.”
