November 8 @ 7:00 pm
Event Navigation
Join sisters Galeet and Danielle Dardashti for a multimedia exploration of The Nightingale of Iran, their award-winning audio documentary about their renowned Persian Jewish family, featuring behind-the-scenes stories, music, and audio clips.
The program also features Monajat, Galeet’s acclaimed musical project, which reimagines the Selihot Jewish prayer tradition through original compositions, remixed recordings of her grandfather, legendary Iranian singer Younes Dardashti, and a dynamic ensemble of Middle Eastern and jazz musicians, accompanied by immersive video art. Blending storytelling, music, and cultural history, this special presentation celebrates Persian Jewish heritage and explores the intersections of faith, family, and artistic expression.
This event is co-sponsored by the Department of Judaic Studies and the Annual Frieda Kobernick Fleischman Lecture.
