“Voices Unveiled” weaves the stories of young girls from the Middle East and South Asia, exiled from their homes and yearning for freedom and equality. These girls, radiant with talent and filled with hopes for a brighter life, bear the weight of a singular “sin” — being born in the Middle East or South Asia. Their quest for liberty demands a migration as harrowing and fragile as the severing of roots from their homeland.

​

Ehsan Matoori, an Iranian American composer and New Music USA Award winner, inspired by some of these lives, brings this tragedy to music in collaboration with female artists from these regions. After 21 successful concerts, the “Voices Unveiled” multicultural and fusion project, featuring brilliant voices Maliheh Moradi, Mina Deris, Grammy winner and seven-time nominee bassist Edward Perez, and Grammy-nominated Indian singer Priya Darshini—who is joining the Voices Unveiled  for the very first time to bring the story of South Asia—will take the stage in Portland.
