Recital: Sepehr Davalloukhoungar '24 GD, Collaborative Piano
NEC's students meet one-on-one each week with a faculty artist to perfect their craft. As each one leaves NEC to make their mark in the performance world, they present a full, professional recital that is free and open to the public. It's your first look at the artists of tomorrow.

Program note
A mother feels the need to sing for her baby, hidden in the darkness of the night. She has the urge to sing, to calm herself down; and so she makes her baby cry…
Siyahi (سیآهی-Darkness), is a piece based on a Persian folklore lullaby, a poem by Forough Farrokhzad and a small text by the composer. This piece portrays the complexity of the role of a lullaby; how sometimes they’re not subjected to an external listener, but more to the singer themselves, allowing them to soothe, express and make friends with their inner darkness while singing to the dark of the night.

Special thanks to Cameron Stowe, Joel Ayau, Tanya Blaich, JJ Penna, my wonderful friends and colleagues and all my mentors and teachers at NEC who have changed who I am, how I look at arts and have encouraged me daily to express myself more boldly and look deeply into all that I do.
I am forever thankful.
