The Time Zones festival is relocating to the Officina degli Esordi in Bari. Kicking off the evening on Saturday 26 at 9 PM will be the duo consisting of British musician Benedict Tylor and Apulian artist Pierpaolo Martino.

They will present the project "Salomè." Benedict Tylor is a violist actively involved in improvisation, composer of successful soundtracks, and collaborator with jazz musicians like Evan Parker and John Butcher. Pierpaolo Martino, on the other hand, is a double bassist active in various English and Italian ensembles and a great scholar of the works and character of Oscar Wilde. Exclusively for Time Zones, the duo will provide the soundtrack to the celebrated 2023 film version of "Salomè" by Oscar Wilde, directed by Charles Bryant.

Following this, there will be a concert by the Indo-American band led by Sheherazaad, featuring Aneesha Naresh Kotwani, Jacob Ross Charkey, Sanjana Gauri Shukl, and Mehrnam Rastegari. Sheherazaad is an American performer-composer whose blend of contemporary folk and pop joins the new wave of South Asian diasporic soundscapes. Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area and raised in a second-generation immigrant family, Sheherazaad draws uninhibitedly from Western classical music and South Asian music with a pop sensibility.
