SUMMARY;LANGUAGE=en-us:"Mohsen Namjoo: In Concert"
DESCRIPTION:"\rMohsen Namjoo—an Iranian artist, songwriter, singer, music scholar, and setar (traditional Persian lute) player—is one of the most groundbreaking artists in Iranian music today. Born in 1976 in Torbat-e Jam, Iran, his music resembles a patchwork of Persian classical poetry of Hafez, Rumi or Saadi and western music, namely rock, blues, and jazz.  In 2008 Namjoo kicked off his first solo US tour, which granted him the Visiting Artist Fellowship at Stanford University, co-sponsored by the Christina & Hamid Moghadam Program in Iranian Studies and the Music Department. In 2010, he partnered with Payam Entertainment to present Namjoo in A Minor with an ensemble centered on some of his most popular and controversial songs.  Most recently, following the Performa 2011 Festival in New York City, he was hailed by the Times as the “Bob Dylan of Iarn,” a true musical maverick. \r\rThis performance is presented by the Persian Cultural Association, hosted and co-sponsored by the Spurlock Museum, and supported in part by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency.\r\rTickets required. \r"
