With Fragments d’une autre histoire, Reza Abaee weaves an intimate dialogue between memory, poetry, and improvisation, inviting audiences to discover lesser-known facets of the rich Persian musical heritage.

Carried by the deep, expressive sonorities of his gheychak, the musician of Iranian origin revisits melodies drawn from the classical Persian tradition, infusing them with his own sensibility and unique artistic journey. Each piece becomes a fragment of history, a sonic evocation of the great themes running through Iranian culture: love, exile, the spiritual quest, nature, and the passage of time.

Drawing inspiration from the world of the great Persian poets such as Hafez, Omar Khayyam, and Rumi, Reza Abaee gives musical voice to the depth of their work. Between original compositions, improvisations, and reinterpretations of the traditional repertoire, this concert offers a contemplative journey into the heart of a thousand-year-old tradition, where poetry and music answer one another to reveal stories that remain very much alive.
