The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Information is very pleased to announce an evening of Persian classical music performed by Sahba Motallebi on the tar and setar.
The tar is a waisted lute that holds a central role in Persian classical music. Tradition holds that melodies played upon a tar may furnish relief from melancholia, insomnia, and epilepsy.
