About Event

Listening: The Fourth String

Live performance by Raheleh Filsoofi and Reza Filsoofi activating the ShahTár (شه‌تار), a four-string experimental rug instrument currently on view at the Ismaili Center Houston. The performance is part of Listening: The Fourth String and will feature eight Houston-based musicians.

Drawing inspiration from the musical legacy of Sufi musician Moshtagh Ali Shah, Listening: The Fourth String introduces the ShahTár as an interactive instrument through performance and related workshops. The project explores sound as a practice of attentive listening and shared experience, offering audiences insight into Middle Eastern musical traditions and their resonance within the contemporary soundscape of the United States.
