Shazia and Pireh
Shazia and Pireh are a mother-daughter duo from a large extended family of musicians. Pireh is currently a composer, exploring themes of anxiety, love, loss, and healing in her music. She has worked with musical communities of all shapes and sizes, including but not limited to choirs, orchestras, jugalbandi, and various percussion circles. Shazia is primarily a doctor and community health researcher who drums for pleasure. She has been playing the dhol since before Pireh was even born! We all hold music in our hearts, our souls, our bodies, and our breath. Together, we invite you to honor, embody, and celebrate those rhythms that we, as women, have carried with us always.
