Stay Close is a ten-month project exploring contemporary classical music as a means of cultural exchange between the UK and Iran. Following research periods in both Iran and the UK, a new piece of music entitled Only Sound Remains was produced, considering ethnic identity in the UK through the lens of the Iranian-British community.

This event took place in conjunction with the third edition of the prestigious Jameel Prize, an international art prize for contemporary artists and designers inspired by Islamic traditions of craft and design.
