Beatrice Dillon (live) + Peyman Heydarian
Institute of Contemporary Arts

Beatrice Dillon’s 2020 debut, the polyrhythmic masterpiece Workaround, depicted an artist entirely in her own lane, and won plaudits including No. 1 album of the year in The Wire as well as a 5-star Guardian review. 

Dillon is a London-based artist and musician using sound within live performance, multi-channel works and recorded material. Her work encompasses interests in rhythmic programming, spatial sound, and process-based systems of logic across both visual and sonic mediums. 

She has collaborated internationally with visual artists presenting sound and music at Greene Naftali NY, Palais de Tokyo Paris, Centre d'Art Contemporain Genève, TATE, Lisson Gallery, Macval Paris, Nasher Sculpture Centre Dallas, South London Gallery etc. 

She has released solo and collaborative music on leading international electronic music labels and worked with a range of musicians including Laurel Halo, Kuljit Bhamra and Lucy Railton. 

In 2023, Dillon composed the soundtrack to ‘Writing A Play (dark blue orchard), 2023’, a film by award-winning visual artist Helen Marten at Greene Naftali, NYC. She produced the new solo album by Norwegian saxophonist Bendik Giske (Smalltown Supersound) and remixed legendary Senegalese artist Baaba Maal (Marathon Music), both in 2023.

Iranian santur virtuoso, Peyman Heydarian, will be supporting with a solo performance of Santur and Daf frame drum. 




Dr. Peyman Heydarian is an award-winning Iranian music scientist and santur virtuoso renowned for his innovative tuning systems and performance techniques that bring a multi-ethnic repertoire to life on the santur. Beginning his musical journey at the age of four, Peyman studied Persian and Kurdish music under the tutelage of grand masters such as Mojtaba Mirzadeh, Ardeshir Kamkar, and Pashang Kamkar.

He is currently researching the possibilities of pushing the boundaries of the Persian music and santur performance, also developing algorithms for Automatic Estimation of the dastgàh and maqàm in audio musical signals. He has 22 referred publications and his recent algorithms and compositions were presented at Digital Libraries for Music (DMRN) conference in The Hague, The Netherlands, and in ISMIR conference, Montreal, Canada.
