Convergence Concert Series
Hamed Sadeghi, presents Convergence, a series of three concerts featuring renowned and emerging musicians, taking place at Paddington Uniting Church.
Across three nights, audiences will journey with Sadeghi as he guides the tar by shifting musical landscapes from its dialogue with a string trio, to the drunkening depth of Persian classical, and finally into an intimate improvised duo with piano.

Convergence is the title of Hamed Sadeghi’s new composition supported by Creative Australia and Create NSW which will be recorded later this year by ABC Classic for broadcast and digital commercial release. The concert series aims to convey a deconstructed yet detailed performance of the composition’s roots and components in three acts.
Standing individually, all three acts make up a clearer image of Sadeghi’s musical universe and enthusiasts are encouraged to experience all three acts to be embraced by the voyage Sadeghi leads.
