Iranian and Francophone Research Concert held in Tehran
TEHRAN, May 28 (MNA) -- The Music Museum of Iran hosted the Iranian and Francophone Research Concert on Thursday evening.
Swiss Ambassador to Tehran Livia Leu Agosti, French cultural attaché in Tehran Jean-Claude Voisin and museum curator Ali Moradkhani as well as several musicians attended the ceremony, the Persian service of MNA reported on Friday.
“The Music Museum of Iran is proud of hosting such a program, which acts as a cultural exchange. I believe this program expresses the differences between nations as narrated through music; actually, these differences demonstrate the beauty of thought,” Moradkhani said.
The Swiss Ambassador also expressed her appreciation to the organizers of the event and especially to the curator of the museum who has made great efforts to establish such a place.
Success in cultural fields and creating a place to revive cultural achievements is only possible through the efforts of a successful management and this concert is an example of this kind of collaboration, she said.
Musician Shahin Farhat, also present at the ceremony, next talked about the history of the European classical music in Iran and said, “Classical music was promoted about 70 years ago in Iran when radio was established.
“In the West, most of the classical music fans are the elderly while in Iran the youth are showing interest in the classical music,” he said.
The ceremony continued with performances by Swiss musician Mark Ammon, and French guitarist Simon Nwambeben who is famous for his Bitibak style. The Bitibak is actually the name given to a mixture of several leaves, bark, plants, and roots of all kinds all boiled and whose vapors are inhaled for medicinal purposes.
The two musicians along with Iranian tar player Mohammad Delnavazi gave a fascinating performance at the end of the program.
