Iran to host 2nd Music Industry Exhibition
The 2nd Music Industry Exhibition is set to take place from October 1-4 at the Milad Tower Exhibition Center in Tehran, bringing together music industry professionals and enthusiasts from across the country.
The expo, which promises to be a major event in the Iranian music calendar, comes at a significant time for the industry, with the government recently lifting a ban on the import of music instruments, ISNA wrote.
The ban, which was imposed in 2017 as part of the government’s efforts to manage foreign currency resources following the US withdrawal from the nuclear deal, had been a major hurdle for music instrument importers.
However, following complaints from importers and efforts by the expo organizers, the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance intervened, leading to the lifting of the ban.
The lifted ban covers a range of music instruments, including pianos, brass and wind instruments, and percussion instruments such as drums and xylophones.
The expo is expected to feature a wide range of music instruments and equipment, as well as workshops and performances by local musicians.
