This special night highlights the fusion of Islamic Art and Music across the ages as The Frick's latest exhibition, Treasured Ornament: 10 Centuries of Islamic Art, ends on October 20th. \n\nThe Quartet talks about their collaboration with local Iranian composer, Reza Vali, in a concert of Persian music about 10 years ago, and how that started a long collaboration with the composer that inspired their upcoming concert. They also talk about working with Santur player, Dariush Saghafi, in this concert. \n\nA pre-performance discussion will be led by WQED's own Jim Cunningham, and guests will be able to converse with the musicians after the concert.
