Hamsaz Ensemble
Hamsaz Ensemble
Hamsaz Ensemble is a 15-strong ensemble of musicians who have migrated to the UK from Iran.
Established in 2018 as part of an artist development programme at the Sahba Academy, Hamsaz reflects the contemporary Iranian diaspora by combining songs rooted in Iranian folklore with newer stories. Its music features traditional Iranian instruments, including the Setar, Santur, and Daf, alongside Western instruments.
The ensemble, which features musicians of different generations, genders, and backgrounds, has performed at festivals, including Sheffield’s Migration Matters and Didsbury Art Festival.
Their music depicts tales of adaptation and hope. Sometimes, the ensemble’s music has a political edge. Hamsaz champions the resilience of the Iranian people, as seen in the country’s Women, Life, Freedom movement, and explores the experience of forced migration.
