Diaspora Arts Connection proudly presents the Iranian fusion band Axiom of Choice on the occasion of the band’s 30th anniversary.

At a time when the people of Iran continue to face profound challenges and the tragic loss of civilian life, this performance is held in solidarity with their struggle and in affirmation of their right to peace, safety, and dignity. Through music, we gather not only to celebrate artistic legacy, but to hold space for reflection, connection, and shared humanity.

Please join us for this special evening honoring one of the most influential ensembles in contemporary Iranian music.

Innovative, epic, soulful, and postmodern—with an unyielding sense of defiance—Axiom of Choice stands as a defining voice in the evolution of contemporary Persian music.

Founded in 1992 by multi-instrumentalist, composer, and Artistic Director Loga Ramin Torkian, alongside singer and composer Mamak Khadem, the ensemble forged a new musical language. Rooted in tradition yet unbound by it, their sound has long been recognized for its sophistication, depth, and poetic resonance.

Now, after three decades, Axiom of Choice reunites for two special anniversary concerts—an extraordinary and rare gathering that celebrates their legacy, their influence, and the enduring spirit of their music.

More than a reunion, these performances are a powerful moment of return: a bridge across time, where memory, innovation, and defiance converge on stage once again.
