Iran-Germany Collaboration

German pianist Moritz Ernst will join Iran’s Nilper Orchestra for a concert of contemporary and classical music by world composers at Tehran’s Vahdat Hall on August 2.

The first part of the concert is dedicated to a solo performance by Ernst in which he will perform works by German composer Wolfgang Rihm, Austrian composer Viktor Ullmann (1898–1944), and Sandeep Bhagwati, a German-Indian composer of Western classical music.

The second part will be a joint performance by the Nilper Orchestra with the pianist.

The program aims to boost cultural relations between Iran and Germany. The concert has been arranged in cooperation with the cultural Department of the German Embassy in Tehran and the Goethe Institute.
