Iran’s National Orchestra to perform in Tehran
Iran’s National Orchestra, led by guest conductor Maziyar Zahireddini, is set to perform at Tehran’s Vahdat Hall on March 14.
According to ISNA, the orchestra will perform pieces including Ahmad Pejman’s ‘Divertimento’ and Mehran Rouhani’s ‘Nostalgia.’
‘Divertimento’ is composed in four movements, titled ‘Soran,’ ‘Hengam,’ ‘Susa,’ and ‘Kharazam,’ created in 2008 with a free approach to form, emphasizing rhythmic and melodic patterns of music from various ethnicities and regions.
‘Nostalgia,’ a three-movement piece, begins with the first movement, ‘Red,’ representing the color of love and based on the famous theme of ‘Elahe-ye Naz’ by Akbar Mohseni. The second movement, ‘White’ draws inspiration from the well-known theme ‘Sang-e Khara’ by Ali Tajvidi. The final movement, ‘Red Color of the Flag’ is based on the delightful spring theme by Ruhollah Khaleqi.
