Foreign soloists invited to attend Fajr Music Festival
Nasir Heidarian, conductor of the Tehran Symphony Orchestra and a member of the policymaking council of the 41st Fajr International Music Festival, said the music event’s executive team has invited prominent international artists to participate in the upcoming edition of the festival.
According to Mehr News Agency, Heidarian pointed to one of the approaches of this edition of the festival and said, “In this edition, foreign soloists will be invited to not only perform concerts but also hold masterclasses for conservatories and young artists.”
Praising the move as a valuable opportunity for transferring experience and increasing the skills of the new generation, he added, “The goal of this approach is for musicians not just to perform, but to share their knowledge and experience with young artists.”
This year's festival, Heidarian stated, in addition to focusing on quality and youth empowerment, will have a more prominent international dimension and the presence of foreign musicians is an opportunity for exchanging experiences, enhancing the musical knowledge of young people, and creating direct communication between Iranian and international artists.
“The Fajr Music Festival is a celebration for all Iranian people, and anyone can participate in it,” he added. “The main goal of this festival will be the joy and satisfaction of the audience. Even if we can make just one person happy for an hour, it will be a great success for the festival.”
The conductor of the Tehran Symphony Orchestra emphasized, “In the 41st edition of the Fajr Music Festival, the policymaking council's focus is on improving the quality of programs and youth empowerment. Good activities have been carried out in this regard and have yielded positive results. In this edition, efforts are being made for the festival to have significant progress in terms of quality compared to previous years and editions. Creating opportunities for the entry and participation of the young generation is an important part of the approach of this edition of the policymaking council. We are trying to create conditions for young people to have a more prominent presence in this year's festival.”
Heidarian concluded, “I hope that art-loving artists and those who love people will play a role in holding a real celebration for all Iranian people through their presence and cooperation.”
