A Conversation Through Us

A Narrative Journey for Voice and Violin

Two women, centuries apart, speaking into the same echo.

Join violinist Negar Dena Afazel and vocalist Tricia Tetzlaff for an immersive performance that bridges the distance between the ancestral past and our modern world. In this unique collaboration, the violin provides the wordless, ancient pulse—the "warp" of the loom—while the voice weaves the "weft" of immediate human experience.

Featuring evocative narration by Hamidreza Ostovar, this program moves through the masterworks of Holst, Milhaud, Vaughan Williams, and Villa-Lobos. Together, these pieces create a sanctuary of sound, inviting you to step out of the frantic pace of the digital age and into a moment of deep, shared memory.

This is more than a recital; it is a restoration of the soul through the timeless ritual of music.
