Between Bridges invites you to a special concert by Mohammad Reza Mortazavi, known for his virtuosic approach to the tombak and daf, on 12 April at 8pm at Between Bridges’ Adalbertstraße location.

Mortazavi’s music bridges classical Persian rhythms with a personal, contemporary language, creating immersive and meditative sonic landscapes.

The evening is conceived as a space for gathering, resonance, reflection, and connection across distances, in alignment with the spirit of Between Bridges’s program, which this year celebrates its 20th anniversary.

The concert is based on free donation. We suggest a donation of €15 or more, payable at the door. We kindly ask you to make a reservation here (RSVP). Please note that each reservation is valid for one person only.

Due to limited capacity, please inform us in advance if you are unable to attend, so that your place can be offered to someone else.

The concert starts promptly at 8:00 PM. We kindly ask you to arrive by 7:00 PM at the latest to redeem your spot. If you do not have a reservation, you are welcome to come and listen to the audio transmission in another space in the building.
