Now in its fourth year, Humber Polytechnic’s Intercultural and Creative Music Fellowship is a multidisciplinary project aimed at fostering a greater intercultural understanding of Muslim heritage in music and film while also helping emerging artists achieve greater professional experience, created in partnership with the Aga Khan Museum.
In the summer of 2024, eight Humber Polytechnic Students came together under the guidance of acclaimed Iranian-Canadian Setar player Kiya Tabassian to form the band Solara. Inspired by the architecture of the Aga Khan Museum, and the “Light: Visionary Perspectives” exhibition, Solara composed a suite of six songs, each of which presents a unique answer to the question, “How does light guide us?”
Join Solara at the Aga Khan Museum on September 29th as they present their compositions as well as a short documentary, “From Dawn to Dusk”, which explores the varied perspectives of the artists throughout their creative process.
