The Silk Road Music & Dance Ensemble and the iST-West Ensemble will perform live with special guest vocalist Serpil Borazan. Featuring Rowan Storm on percussions, with Nyofu Tyson on saz, Neil Seigel on Azeri tar, Ergun Tamer on kanun and Robyn Friend performing dances of Turkey and Central Asia, plus additional musicians.

Serpil Borazan sings love songs in the Turkish musical modes called Nihavend and kurdilihicazkar (the latter is a combination of musical modes kurdi—whose name derives from the Kurdish people who live in eastern Turkey, northern Iraq and western Iran—and hicaz, whose name derives from the western portion of Arabia).

Robyn Friend performs Olmakhon Lazgi—an Uzebki dance famous for its incredibly rapid and intricate hand movements—and Lale Labad, a famous dance of Bukhara.

The iST-West Ensemble is led by Nyofu Tyson, master of the saz (Turkish long-necked lute), and flamenco guitarist Bobby Sokolov, showcasing the dazzling flamenco and belly dance artistry of Cshay Gitane, a Sephardic-Gypsy dancer with roots in Morocco and southern Italy.

Doors open 7:00 pm (refreshments available), concert 8 pm. Tickets $18 general admission, $12 students/seniors with i.d. (students/faculty of West Los Angeles College free). Free parking.
