Signature Series: Yasamin Shahhosseini

Yasamin is an Iranian artist redefining the cultural and stylistic possibilities of the oud for a new generation. Deeply rooted in the traditions of Persian classical music, she combines rigorous study with an intuitive, exploratory spirit. Her performances balance introspection and stillness with rich melodic invention, unfolding with the organic logic of improvisation. Drawing on the spiritual and emotional depth of Persian classical music, she shapes a voice that is at once grounded in tradition and distinctly contemporary. Praised for bringing “new poetics” to the oud, Yasamin honours convention while expanding the instrument’s expressive range.
