The Prairie debut Khosravi Stadnicki duo performed at Mae Wilson Theatre on Jan. 10.
“We had a great show in North Battleford and here in Moose Jaw. The songs was amazing, and the people were lovely; they liked the music,” said Farhad Khosravi, a santur artist.
He says he was excited to be here and loved the beautiful Mae Wilson Theatre. The moment he saw the outside of the theatre he said he got excited and then said the inside was even more gorgeous.
He also appreciated the sound. He says Moose Jaw itself has a certain charm and he could feel the vibe driving around downtown.
“I like the style of it; it’s all there. This is my first time performing in Saskatchewan,” Khosravi says.
Percussion artist Daniel Stadnicki said, “The tour has been going great. I played here many times with different groups, and it has always been a fun time.”
He says he has done a lot of stuff with folk and pop musicians but with Farhad, it’s more of a mix of classical and world music. He was always amazed, surprised and happy to perform in front of Saskatchewan crowds.
He says Saskatchewan people enjoy a good broad taste of all kinds of music and this was his first time doing something with a more classical kind of artist. He has previously performed in Moose Jaw with Christian De La Luna, organized by the Francophone Saskatchewan organizations.
“It was a big party with Colombian Music,” Stadnicki said.
The evening started with an introductory song called the Day of Creation from their album Mosàfer, then the duo introduced themselves and talk about their instruments. The performance included numerous songs, as well as a three-part song - Day of War part 1 & 2 and ended the show with their last song The Passenger.
The Khosravi Stadnicki duo will continue their Prairie Debut and will perform next in Regina, Yorkton and Estevan.
