Lavish new costumes, live music, and studio and theater rental poses a great challenge on a limited budget. Your support enables the professional and emerging artists of the not-for-profit Simorgh Dance Collective to bring audiences an appreciation for the culture of the Silk Road in dance and music.

Please help us accomplish this huge effort by donating ANY amount above the admission price you can. Be generous as the more we raise the better our production and benefit to the community will be.

Farima Berenji – Artistic Director, Choreographer

“I cannot put the concert from tonight in words. Emotional, full of energy, oneness and beauty. Especially the last two songs and Farima’s powerful and emotional Sufi whirling left me so affected. I am still shaking from the energy. Will never forget this concert. Thank you again and I hope there will be many more.”

—Meral Ozturk – Manchester, England, on Seven Cities of Love
