Bijan Chemirani

An Iranian-born percussionist, Bijan Chemirani learned the art of the zarb from his father, Djamchid Chemirani, and his brother, Keyvan. His career began at a very young age, performing in concert and recording with internationally renowned musicians such as Ross Daly, Dariush Talai, Ballaké Sissoko, Jean-Guihen Queyras, Sylvain Luc, Sting, Socrates Sinopoulos, Serge Teyssot-Gay, Renaud Garcia Fons and many others. At just twenty-two years of age, he recorded his first album, Gulistan, Jardin des Roses, between Athens and Marseille, in collaboration with Ross Daly.

Rami Khalifé

Of Lebanese origins, Rami Khalifé was born in Beirut during the years of the civil war. Although best known for his reinterpretations of classical music, he has performed as a soloist with some of the most prestigious orchestras in the world, including the Globalis Orchestra, the Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra and the Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra. With a style as eclectic as it is daring, Rami has established himself as one of the most influential composers of the 21st century, also distinguishing himself for the soundtracks written for films and documentaries. The Daily Star described him as "a musician of extraordinary calibre and pure expression... a welcome experimental deviation in a classical composition world that is rather conformist today".

Redi Hasa

Albanian cellist and composer, Redi Hasa was born into a family of artists and began studying the cello at the age of seven. His first solo album, The Stolen Cello, represents an intimate confrontation with the instrument, from which a deep bond emerges in every track. His second record, My Nirvana, is a journey of discovery and introspection into the "grunge heart" of his musical universe, a tribute to a band that left a profound mark on him. Over the course of his career he has collaborated with Kočani Orkestar, Boban Marković, Bobby McFerrin, Paolo Fresu and, since 2012, has been part of Ludovico Einaudi's band.
