Iranian musician Ghamsari to perform with Moscow Symphony Orchestra
Ali Ghamsari, nominated for the international Bravo Award, will perform alongside the Moscow Symphony Orchestra during Nowruz (Persian News Year).
The Bravo Award, a global recognition in arts and culture, aims to strengthen Russia’s position as the cultural center of Eurasia. Ambassadors from various countries participate, and honorary guests attend the awards ceremony, according to ILNA.
This year marks the first invitation for an Iranian artist, Ghamsari, to the international event. He will not only be a nominee but also perform with the Moscow Symphony Orchestra.
Ghamsari expressed in a brief note, “I am honored to be a nominee for one of the most prestigious global awards. It is the first time an Iranian representative is nominated for this event. Creating music and playing for you is the best gift from God to me.”
He continued, “Simultaneously, I consider the coincidence of this event with Nowruz as a good omen. I hope not to return from this event empty-handed and, with the unity of your energy, play the piece ‘Leaf’ in the historic Bolshoi Theatre with the Moscow Symphony Orchestra. May art echo the cry for lasting peace, and may the Iranian strings be the resounding voice of our Iran. I aim to present a gift in the moment of the new year’s bloom for you.”
Qamsari, known for his diverse performances in Iran and several other countries, has made significant contributions to the study of harmony in Iranian traditional music. His activities include the publication of the book ‘Harmony in Iranian Music’ in 2012 and conducting educational workshops. His unique style of harmonizing instruments, such as the use of four kamancheh (an Iranian spiked fiddle) in the album ‘Sarv-e Ravan,’ sets him apart in the field of music composition.
