We created wonderful project by gathering a group of high quality musician with diverse nationalities and cultures background together.
The Purpose of this group of musicians is to honor both western culture and Pre-Islamic Persian cultural heritage as a similar cultural identity and as a source of Inspiration for contemporary western art.
With "Euro-Persian Art Ensemble” We still play western classical music alongside new compositions, arrangements, also the possibility to mixing with timbers of the instruments typical of Persian culture. (in the style of art music)!
This is very exciting project that include traditional Persian music, Western classical music, literature, History and Educational activities, that will allows us to discover and realise the greatness of the connection between the "Pre-Islamic Persian cultural heritage" and “western " via art.
We believe and value education and we consider youth as the pillar of society, therefore children are central of our attention and we aim for their involvement.
After the Islamic revolution in Iran the female solo voice (singer) became forbidden, Here with Euro-Persian Art ensemble we would like to give Persian women the opportunity to perform as solo singers, whether they are professional singer in the field of western opera (classic music) or in the style of traditional Persian music.
