Saba Amrei
Live
Saba Amrei began their musical career at the age of 15 with the Iranian Symphonic Orchestra, establishing a foundation in classical Persian music. In 2018, they relocated to Canada, where they discovered the world of jazz and immersed themselves in its rich traditions and modern expressions. Since then, Saba has become a dynamic presence in Vancouver’s jazz scene, performing at iconic venues such as Frankie’s Jazz Club.
A versatile artist, Saba has showcased their talents at multiple festivals, including the Robson Folk Festival in 2023, and has been a recurring performer at the Vancouver Jazz Festival, playing both traditional Iranian music in 2023 and freeform improv jazz in 2024. They also took center stage at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts in 2024, performing at the "Jazz at the Bolt" festival.
Known for blending their classical roots with avant-garde jazz, Saba continues to push boundaries. Their upcoming performance at the New Forms Festival will highlight their signature style of free, avant-garde jazz—a performance that promises to captivate and inspire.
