Chloe Pourmorady Ensemble – “Begin Majesty” in Concert
Chloe Pourmorady and her ensemble invite you to a special performance celebrating the release of “BEGIN MAJESTY” – a recent winner of the Global Music Awards for Best Album.
“BEGIN MAJESTY” is a concept album which follows the story of creation to awakening. Music composed by Chloe and performed by her 7-piece ensemble, the album begins in Hebrew with the words of the Genesis and travels through an array of human emotions and sentiments (“Discovery of Joy,” “Discovery of Love,” “Freedom from Ego”, etc). Truly universal in its sound and message while utilizing languages such as Farsi, Hebrew, English, and Ladino.
This concert at the stunning Broad Stage in Santa Monica will combine narrative and performance, taking you on a journey of each part of the album’s story, as well as a taste of new music that is in the works.
