New music for flute inspired by Canada's wild spaces.

Calling

Dancing With Love artfully showcases a spectrum of 12 unique shades of love, ranging from the earthy and grounded to the divine and transcendent. Each track weaves together a distinct musical style with the poetry of Eastern Mystic Masters, including two inspiring female spiritual leaders. Over the past few years, Dr. Afarin Mansouri has composed an outstanding collection of arias and duets for her various operas while drawing inspiration from these literary poetic works. This album is the result of a successful collaboration between esteemed Iranian-Canadian artists, including Mansouri (compositions and lead vocals), Milad Bagheri (tenor), Padideh AhrarJejad (Tar) and Ali Masoudi (Percussion) with Thin Edge New Music Collective- one of Canada's foremost ensembles, presenting new music. The album has been made possible through the kind support of the Ontario Arts Council and Toronto Arts Council, as well as the production work of Cultureland.

Dancing With Love (Danser avec amour) présente avec brio un spectre de 12 nuances uniques d’amour, allant de l’amour enraciné et terrestre à l’amour divin et transcendant. Chaque piste tisse un style musical distinct tiré de la poésie des maîtres mystiques orientaux, y compris celle de deux incroyables femmes chefs spirituelles. Au cours des dernières années, la Dre Afarin Mansouri a composé une collection d’arias et de duos tirés de divers opéras. Cet album est le résultat d’une collaboration fructueuse entre d’éminents artistes irano-canadiens, dont Afarin Mansouri (compositrice et chanteuse), Milad Bagheri (ténor), Thin Edge New Music Collective et bien d’autres. L’album a été rendu possible grâce à l’aimable soutien du Conseil des arts de l’Ontario et du Conseil des arts de Toronto, ainsi qu’au travail de production de Cultureland.
