Eishan Ensemble

Eishan Ensemble is a Sydney-based group that crafts mesmerizing soundscapes by fusing Persian classical traditions with contemporary jazz and global improvisation. Led by Iranian-Australian tar virtuoso and composer Hamed Sadeghi, the collective bridges cultures through its innovative blend of the lute-like tar with saxophone, double bass, and percussion. Since emerging in the late 2010s, their music has become a dialogue between ancient poetic forms and modern spontaneity, often nodding to themes from Persian literature (as heard in works like *Project Masnavi*) while embracing urban energy and cross-genre curiosity.

Recent releases like *Nim Dong* and *Afternoon Tea at Six* showcase their signature mix of intricate rhythms, haunting melodies, and collaborative warmth, inviting listeners into a genre-defying space where tradition and experimentation shake hands. Whether evoking bustling streets or meditative landscapes, Eishan Ensemble turns cultural fusion into a celebration—one that’s equally at home in concert halls, festivals, or your headphones.
