TEHRAN — Iranian vocalist Shahram Nazeri will be giving a concert here
in Tehran in collaboration with the Armenian Philharmonic Orchestra
in spring.
Iranian composer Peyman Soltani will also be cooperating to stage
the concert entitled “Melal”, director of Qoqnus Music Institute,
Mohammad-Hossein Tutunchian told the Persian service of ISNA on
Tuesday.
Tutunchian also said that Nazeri might be repeating his collaboration
with the Dusti Ensemble in the coming months. The group, including
tar virtuoso Hossein Alizadeh, kamancheh virtuoso Ardeshir Kamkar,
and percussionist Pejman Haddadi as well as Nazeri, gave a performance
several months ago in Tehran after a 23-year hiatus.

vocalization of lyrics by the Iranian poet Rumi, the French government
presented him with the Chevalier de la Legion d’honneur medal in 2008.
