Girl – the new album from composer Soosan Lolavar, conductor Kelly Lovelady and chamber orchestra Ruthless Jabiru – puts diasporic experience at the center of a uniquely personal soundworld. Lolavar describes her music as striving to “create new forms which are tied to western and Iranian traditions, but not defined by these practices nor reduced to these elements alone."
