  4. Arefeh Hekmatpanah | Siyahi

    Program note

    A mother feels the need to sing for her baby, hidden in the darkness of the night. She has the urge to sing, to calm herself down; and so she makes her baby cry…

    Siyahi (سیآهی-Darkness), is a piece based on a Persian folklore lullaby, a poem by Forough Farrokhzad and a small text by the composer. This piece portrays the complexity of the role of a lullaby; how sometimes theyre not subjected to an external listener, but more to the singer themselves, allowing them to soothe, express and make friends with their inner darkness while singing to the dark of the night.
    – Arefeh Hekmatpanah

  5. Special thanks to Cameron Stowe, Joel Ayau, Tanya Blaich, JJ Penna, my wonderful friends and colleagues and all my mentors and teachers at NEC who have changed who I am, how I look at arts and have encouraged me daily to express myself more boldly and look deeply into all that I do.

    I am forever thankful.
