Benefit for One Roof Community Centre

At its next performance, a Benefit for One Roof Community Centre, the Peterborough Concert Band under Music Director and Conductor Saman Shahi, will present the world premiere of Canadian composer Sina Fallah’s Transfiguration. This clarinet concerto features Soloist Katherine Carleton with the Peterborough Concert Band.

After graduating from the University of Toronto, he founded and directed the Centre for Music Education & Cognition. He served as music director for the 50+ program at the Chang School of Continuing Education at Ryerson, now Toronto Metropolitan University.
