Experience the rich sounds of Persian classical music with this stunning kamanche performance by Payam Yousef. In this video, Yousef showcases his incredible skill on the kamanche, performing a taqsim that modulates from Dastgah Shur to Mokhalef Segah, followed by "Chaharmezrab Mokhalef Segah" composed by Ostad Saeid Farajpouri.

This performance was part of the Fall Recital by the UCLA Near East Ensemble, directed by Sami Asmar, and held at the Jan Popper Theater in the Schoenberg Music Building. The ensemble's goal is to promote understanding and appreciation of the music of the Middle East and its neighboring regions, and this performance is a testament to their dedication and passion.
