Shiraz Ensemble is a contemporary music group that unites Iranian musicians performing on traditional instruments. These players embody a global perspective, merging roles as world citizens and passionate artists to highlight crucial socio-political issues through art. Drawing inspiration from their journeys as immigrants from Iran to the United States, they channel their experiences into a transformative musical narrative. Founded in 2023 in Philadelphia, Shiraz Ensemble takes its name from the ancient city of Shiraz in Iran, the birthplace and upbringing of its founders, Sina Homaee and Sepehr Pirasteh.
