Previous Green Box Artist in Residence, Amir Amiri, returns to Green Mountain Falls this summer to provide special acoustic music performances in our Skyspace around the Full Moon.  Born in Tehran, Iran, Amiri is a master of the santur, a 72-string instrument dating from approximately 500 BCE.  Amiri dwells at the center of a unique musical universe where ancient inspiration, dazzling virtuosity, and bold creativity meet.  Surrounding himself with outstanding collaborators from the world of jazz, classical and world music, Amiri fearlessly transcends genres and borders, exquisitely transporting his ancient instrument into the musical conversations of our time.
