Love in Exile: Arooj Aftab, Vijay Iyer, and Shahzad Ismaily

Grammy Award–winning vocalist Arooj Aftab debuts her Love in Exile Trio in Boston, featuring two celebrated collaborators: pianist Vijay Iyer and multi-instrumentalist Shahzad Ismaily. The trio creates lush, haunting collaborative soundscapes of meditation and yearning. Rich improvisations bloom into achingly provocative experimentation and creates a sound as described by Aftab as “about self-exile, and the search for freedom and identity, and finding it through love and music.”
