Timeless Tales, Reimagined in Sound
Uniting past and present, East and West — the Shahnameh retold through universal language: music.
Much toil and hardship I endured these thirty years,
I shaped this work with pain and flowing tears,
I strove to give the Persian language birth,
And bring old Persia’s glory back to Earth.
Ferdowsi
Ferdowsi – The Voice of a Nation
Ferdowsi, the legendary Persian poet, gave his people more than a book — he gave them a soul. Through his magnum opus, the Shahnameh, he preserved centuries of pre-Islamic Iranian myth, history, and cultural identity at a time when it was at risk of being forgotten. Written in over 50,000 couplets of pure Persian, without a single borrowed Arabic word, the Shahnameh stands as one of the greatest epics in world literature. Ferdowsi’s words continue to echo across generations, reminding us that heroes live not just on battlefields, but in language, memory, and story.
