The Hop will host a 5-day residency celebrating the rich, complex cultural history of Persia—and an ancient poem’s pervasive influence on popular culture. We will involve partners Hood Museum of Art, Middle Eastern faculty, and Al Nur students. Silk Rd Ensemble musicians will lead workshops at South Royalton School (VT), and scholars will lead discussions providing historical and cultural context for the work.
