NORTH BATTLEFORD — The earliest version of the santur dates back as far as Babylonian stone carvings over 2,500 years ago. 

On Jan. 8, 2023, Prairie Debut, an organization in Western Canada that links classical music to rural centres, bring Farhad Khosravi and Daniel Stadnicki to the Dekker Centre.

They blend the resonating tones of the santur with the earthy sounds of contemporary percussion to create a musical journey unlike any other. 

A review published in St. Albert Today says,

“The duo’s hybrid of Persian and Western music blends rapid tempos and dense ornamentation with a melodic pattern similar to poetry … exotic, romantic, and haunting.”

The pair have released two collaborative albums and have toured in multiple venues and festivals in Edmonton, including the Royal Alberta Museum, Winspear Centre, Alberta Culture Days, Mile Zero Dance, and the Yardbird Suite.
