Piris Eliyahu is a composer, tar player and music researcher originally from Dagestan. Nowadays Piris composes contemporary Eastern music, witch is so interesting and inspiring to me. I am fascinated by the ways Piris finds to deal with motifs and explore the Maqam at the same time, and playing his music is always a challenge.
Here you can listen to the full concert by the Piris Eliyahu project with the New Jerusalem Orchestra at “Mekudeshet” festival
