TEHRAN – Tehran Choir will perform at the ChoirFest Middle East, which will be held in Dubai from March 10 to 14.
The ChoirFest Middle East highlights songs from the Middle East with a lineup of performers, educational workshops and competitions to unite communities from all over the world.
“Tehran Choir plans to perform a wide repertoire of the baroque, as well as several pieces by Iranian composers including Ahmad Pejman and Morteza Hannaneh,” the conductor of the choir, Mehdi Qasemi, said in a press conference on Friday.
“The participating groups coming from Lebanon, Afghanistan and Iraq are scheduled to give their performances during the first days of the festival,” he added.
All participating groups will give a joint performance during a program entitled “Night of a Thousand Voices”, which has been arranged for the fourth night of the festival.
Established by Qasemi in 1999, Tehran Choir is one of the most notable and active choirs in Iran.
The Tehran Choir has performed dozens of concerts. It also collaborated in recording sessions with famous contemporary Iranian composers such as Ahmad Pejman.
The Tehran Choir completed the recording of its debut album early this winter. The album, which consists of original choral compositions of 9 contemporary Iranian composers, is scheduled to be released in summer 2015.
