Summer Music in the Garden: Sofreh Tisch Ladom Ensemble

Ladom Ensemble is a classical band made up of four musicians who play a kind of acoustic fusion drawn from Western classical, klezmer, rock, tango, jazz, east coast traditional and classical Persian influences. All are classically trained, all fearlessly virtuosic. They believe in taking improvisational risks, in listening deeply and responding spontaneously to one another. They value friendship, mutual respect and great food.

They are Pouya Hamidi, piano; Adam Campbell, percussion; Michael Bridge, accordion and Beth Silver, cello. Ladom Ensemble has played countless shows across Canada and has worked with choreographers, animators and visual artists. Their second album was inspired by Rumi poetry and includes classical arrangements of Prokofiev.
