The Four Seasons of Hamadan
Composed by Kian Ravaei and choreographed by Annie Kahane, The Four Seasons of Hamadan is a duet for live violinist and dancer that interweaves Persian and Jewish music and dance traditions to express intercultural harmony. This project blends folkloric forms from the artists’ respective heritages and re-imagines that material through a contemporary lens. The piece will be performed by Yvette Holzwarth (violin) and Kate Myers (dancer.) This project was funded by a grant from New Music USA; it premiered in Los Angeles, February 2025.
