Hengām Ensemble

The London-based Hengām Ensemble is passionately dedicated to showcasing Iranian classical music, focusing on instrumental pieces.


Motivated by both social and musical factors, Hengām emerged following the tragic passing of Mahsa Amini in 2022, inspiring a movement among Iranians to reclaim their rights.

Additionally, the group seeks to address the lack of support for the arts in Iran by introducing global audiences to the richness of Iranian dastgāh music. Hengām’s core philosophy combines authenticity and adaptability, emphasizing the importance of preserving historical musical essence while evolving the tradition. As ambassadors of Iranian music, they aim to safeguard these traditions and share them with a wider, non-Iranian audience.

Presented by Vaak Records & ArtStage.
