About the Artists

Growing up in Shiraz, she was surrounded by art, music, history, literature, the perfume of roses and orange blossoms and world-renowned wine. Maryam offers you this evening a sip of the mystical ghazals of Shiraz's greatest poet, Hafez, which depict both worldly and divine love. She will first recite them in the language of the poet and then in English translation.
