All the pieces I chose for my recital are related to folk music.  Martinů and Lutoslawski used Eastern European folk tunes as a source of inspiration and Khachaturian used Armanien, Qashqai and Azari tunes.   

Fields of Evin is a newly composed piece for clarinet and piano, written by my friend Andrew Clark.   For this recital, I asked Andrew to compose a piece that encompassed an Iranian folk tune - to pay tribute to my own ethinic heritage.  After considering a number of folk tune, we decided on Baroon Barooneh.  You can read more about the piece here.
