About/
Nilper Orchestra was founded by Navid Gohari in 2004 for performing Contemporary Classical Music. The Orchestra’s continuous aspiration is performing art music of both Iranian and international contemporary composers while – as the members of the orchestra – bringing together talented performers and rising artists living and working in Iran. Since its establishment, the orchestra has performed regularly in seasonal programming, and in its 13th years of activity, it has performed 28 full concerts, performing 58 works in the repertoire of contemporary music, 23 world or national premieres, and has hosted 10 soloists. Since 2008, Ehsan Tarokh has been responsible for the orchestra’s managerial activities. Nilper is focused on introducing and performing the rare repertoire of high quality, observing international rules of Copyright and interaction with publishing houses, and invitation and hosting of established artists and soloists from around the world. These all mark the concept, philosophy, and approach of the board of directors in Nilper Orchestra.
