Bellevue College guitar faculty Naeim Rahmani, along with the Seattle-Isfahan Project (SIP) Ensemble will perform works by Iranian and UW School of Music faculty composers. The pieces in this program were commissioned as part of the Seattle-Isfahan Project: 33. The project and the commissioned pieces address the water crisis that is happening now in Iran, particularly the drought that is affecting the Zayandeh-Roud, the river that gave birth to the city of Isfahan. The project title "33" refers to the 33 arches that make up the most famous bridge, Sio-Se-Pol, across the river. This project is intended to both pay homage to the river and to raise people's awareness about the drought and its impact.
