Naghmeh-Baran Orchestra, conducted by composer and music instructor Noz’hat Amiri, 57, will perform a concert in Tehran to support the quake-stricken people of Kermanshah Province.
A 7.3-magnitude quake shook the western province of Kermanshah and the regions bordering Iraq last November and cut short the lives of over 500 people, injured thousands and left large numbers homeless, many of whom are still living in temporary shelters.
Amiri is the only female conductor in Iran. The concert is slated for March 6 at Arasbaran Cultural Center. The orchestra performed earlier last November at the same venue to support Kermanshah people, according to Fhnews.ir.
Vocalist Ali Amir-Qasemi will sing at the upcoming concert. Repertoire includes compositions by Iranian composers such as pianist Morteza Mahjoubi (1900-65), violinist and songwriter Ali Tajvidi (1919-2006), violinists Habibollah Badiee (1933-92) and Homayoun Khorram (1930-2013), as well as violinist and lyricist Javad Lashkari (1923-2016).
Arasbaran Cultural Center is located on Jolfa Street, northwest of Seyyed-Khandan Bridge. Tickets to the concert are available at Iranconcert.com.
