This Tuesday at the Studley Theatre, don’t miss renowned jazz and world music artist Hafez Modirzadeh, in his role as the 2024 Davenport Resident for New American Music. He’ll be presenting a world-premiere performance of “Beyond Song.” This groundbreaking composition for saxophone and piano, in collaboration with associate professor Alex Peh, showcases a unique blend of Afro/Asian-inspired tunings and Persian notation, pushing the boundaries of traditional music scales. The evening promises more than just Modirzadeh’s innovative work; it also features selections from his album “Facets” and new pieces inspired by him, crafted by SUNY New Paltz’s music faculty and students. This event is not just a concert but an immersive journey into cross-cultural soundscapes, offering an exciting opportunity to experience music that speaks directly to the soul.
