Experience an unforgettable evening of masterful Persian music with two of the world’s most celebrated virtuosos. Kayhan Kalhor, a Grammy-winning kamancheh (Persian spike fiddle) player, is renowned for his breathtaking improvisations and his role in bringing Persian classical music to international audiences. His collaborations range from Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road Ensemble to groundbreaking cross-cultural projects that blend East and West. Joining him is Kiya Tabassian, acclaimed composer and setar (Persian long-necked lute) virtuoso, whose innovative artistry bridges Persian traditions with contemporary global sounds. As co-founder of the renowned ensemble Constantinople, Tabassian is admired for weaving intricate rhythms and shimmering melodies into performances that are both timeless and daringly fresh. Together, Kalhor and Tabassian create music that transcends borders—intensely soulful, rhythmically rich, and filled with moments of spontaneous brilliance. From ancient Persian modes to mesmerizing improvisations, their dialogue of strings promises an evening of emotional depth and cultural discovery. Whether you are a longtime lover of world music or curious to explore the elegance of Persian classical traditions, this concert offers a rare chance to witness two modern masters in one of Boston’s most beautiful concert halls.

Are the days of America's two-party system numbered? Adam Brandon, Senior Advisor at The Independent Center, thinks so. With more Americans identifying as independents, Brandon and his colleagues at The Independent Center are working to disrupt the Republican/Democrat duopoly and rally voters around alternative candidates who will appeal to the vast center. Young voters, especially millennials and Gen Z, have the power to make this idea a reality. Join a conversation with Adam Brandon to hear about his vision for organizing Independent voters and disrupting partisan politics in the U.S. The conversation will be moderated by Leela Strong, Newhouse Director of Tisch College's Center for Information & Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE). Registration required, all are welcome. Lunch provided.

Adam Brandon is a Senior Advisor at The Independent Center. His experience spans across foreign and domestic policy with the U.S. State Department, where he served as an intern in Washington, D.C. and Belfast, Northern, Ireland, and in politics working on both national and local campaigns. He most recently served as President of FreedomWorks for over a decade and was also a leading figure in the Tea Party movement.  Learn more at http://tufts.presence.io/event/independents-day-breaking-the-partisan-grip-on-american-politics
