Zoe B. Zak, Steve Gorn & Dean Sharp
Conference of the Birds

Caressed by the hot winds of the desert during the day and by exotic spices that fill the streets during the night...who cares to sleep? The vision of the epic poem, Conference of the Birds, has inspired people since the 12th century CE when Attar Un-Din Attar penned his lyrical Sufi poem. The very subject matter of Conference of the Birds calls for music. Zoe's deep and personal connection with the music and culture of the Middle East drew me to ask her to compose new music for our production. Her work is personal, inspired and one of a kind. With the score, Zoe, Steve and Dean have created a world rich in color and rhythm. It is the breath and sky into which our production of Conference of the Birds has flown on its journey to wholeness.

CD Baby

If you like any of the music you are listening to, please support the artists as well as this site by purchasing CDs through the links on this page from CD Baby.

I know, CD Baby is a weird name, but they're a wonderful group of people who are the largest seller of independent CDs on the web. They love music and listen to every CD before they sell it. They only deal directly with the musicians, not corporate distributors, so the independent musicans can earn as much as $6 - $12 per CD, rather than the $1 or $2 they would normally get through a distributor.
