Upon her move to Canada, she studied Operatic vocal training, Persian folk singing, then Flamenco cante as she also sang in multiple choirs. Farnaz's love of music and performance art inspired her to create the collaborative project "Mashregh Ensemble" in 2012, which combine's Persian poetry with Flamenco music.
