Concert of Improvisation in 3rd Tehran Contemporary Music Festival
21 April 2018

Description/

The material of this performance is constructed based on various musical modes and tuning systems from Iranian cultures. Each hymn presents an oniric vision, a subtle sound world, free of rush, stress, and usual worries that people think about. The seven Hymns release the thoughts and enable one to take a breath, relax, and listen to the nuances between the sounds, as it is the only thing that exists right now.

In this performance, the Conductor improvised, too. He follows the sounds that are created by every musician and merges them. He Create unique atmosphere in every performance.
