about

Harp and Tombak: two of the oldest instruments in the world, which summon images and sounds of healing, passion and peace. Created from ancient materials - wood and skin - harp and tombak are symbols of both nature and humanity. Diana and Pezhham draw upon their native cultures, Ireland and Iran, to bring forth music which is at once current and old, familiar and surprising.

Diana and Pezhham met at the appropriately-named Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, and immediately felt an artistic and spiritual affinity. Their music goes to the core of how we make sense of life as humans, how we communicate our hopes, dreams and fears, and how we fit in with the world around us.
