Nazeri and Armenian orchestra team up for Tehran concert
Tehran Times - 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.
In recognition of the work Nazeri has accomplished on musical vocalization of lyrics by the Iranian poet Rumi, the French government presented him with the Chevalier de la Légion d’honneur medal in 2008.
