Chakavak Orchestra to revive Pazouki legacy in Tehran
Chakavak Orchestra will perform works by veteran composer Jahanbakhsh Pazouki on December 25 at Vahdat Hall in Tehran.
Under conductor Reza Shayesteh the private ensemble will present, for the first time since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, several pieces by Pazouki. Vocalists Vahid Nooraei and Mehrdad Peykarzadeh will join the orchestra on stage, ILNA reported.
Shayesteh said the concert will mark the debut performance in Iran of “all the pieces” selected for the evening, drawn from the repertoire of Pazouki, one of the country’s most influential songwriters and composers.
He added that Chakavak Orchestra remains “the only orchestra authorized to perform all his works in Iran”.
Formed roughly 27 years ago, Chakavak Orchestra has established a steady record in the Iranian music scene. Over the years it has helped launch the careers of numerous emerging vocal talents.
