Eishan Ensemble

Eishan Ensemble was formed in Sydney, Australia, with the purpose of creating new music for our present time. An eastern and western fusion with layered soundscapes driven by Persian tar, guitar, saxophone, double bass, and percussion. Eishan plays original compositions of tar virtuoso Hamed Sadeghi, whose Iranian classical music background and contemporary jazz knowledge come face to face in Eishan's music. Michael Avgenicos on saxophone and Elsen Price on double bass, who are some of the best jazz musicians in Sydney, are members of Eishan Ensemble. Our music is rooted in Eastern musical practices, incorporating Western influences, generating sounds that bridge the East and the West. Our music intends to bring enjoyment to audiences across all cultural backgrounds, drawing on the beauty of ancient musical modes and traditions.
