ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Tallā Rouge, meaning “the Red-Gold” in Farsi and French, was established by the fiery Persian-American & Cajun-American violists, Aria Cheregosha & Lauren Spaulding under the mentorship of Roger Tapping at The Juilliard School. Inspired by their unique musical pasts, Tallā Rouge performs music that lives at the palpable intersection between Jazz, Folk, Pop, Middle-Eastern, and Western Classical traditions. Currently based in Georgetown D.C., Tallā Rouge is the 2023 —2024 Ensemble-in-Residence at Dumbarton Oaks, a Harvard Research Institute, following in the wake of inspirational artists such as Igor Stravinsky, Jessie Montgomery, and Pulitzer Prize winner Caroline Shaw.
