One Year-Old Nostalgia

In February 2019, Anahita was one of the five winners of the annual Rotary Club-Mainz prize. The performance was happening on May 13, exactly one year after her arrival in Germany for the first time. Therefore, she decided to use the recordings she made in her hometown only two weeks before her departure. She turned the piano into an unusual speaker using an audio exciter (Transducer) and arranged themes based on the Persian modes to be improvised on the same piano and the Persian string instrument “Setar” being played by her friend who also comes from the same town in Iran as her.
