THERESA STEWARD
LET'S CONNECT.
I am a performing and creative artist and musicologist who is continually seeking new ways to share art through speaking, writing, performing, and making. My passions are to create a greater awareness of global music cultures through my writings and presentations and to craft powerful moments of joy and gratitude as well as prayerful interfaith spaces for peace and reflection through music performance and creative art explorations. I also teach mind/body awareness through the practices of yoga and pilates with a focus on the spiritual side of mindfulness.

I would love to know how we can work together to share our gifts for the greater good. If you would like to discuss an opportunity to collaborate, please click below to get in touch.
Iran Amplified:One Hundred Years
of Music and Society
edited by Nahid Siamdoust and Houchang Chehabi
Iran Amplified: One Hundred Years of Music and Society, the first edited volume on music in modern Iran, presents a cross-genre collection of compelling scholarship, musician narratives, and primary sources. This groundbreaking volume, seizing on this burgeoning academic field, offers historiography and critical examination of music’s significant role in social and political mediation in Iran spanning the twentieth century. It also investigates central analytical vectors such as Islam, gender, media technology, alterity, transnational flows, and diasporic communities.
Check out my contribution to the volume in Part VI: The Rise of Rap-e Fārsi, Chapter 25, “We Came From A Single Drop”: 547
Exploring Issues of Representation, Reception,
and Connection in the Rap-e Fārsi Diaspora."
Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret life of bringing peace, abolishing strife.
