Maestro Rohani to lead Tehran Orchestra

The Tehran Symphony Orchestra is slated to present a concert conducted by the prominent Iranian maestro Shahrdad Rohani in Tehran.

The world famous musician Rohani will stage ‘the Symphony of the Prisoners of War’ (POW) in Tehran’s Vahdat Hall on January 2, 2017.

The symphony also titled ‘Land of the Heroes’ was composed by the Iranian musician Ahmad Pejman.

“This symphony has been composed for those dear prisoners whose sacrifice saved this land and this is a great honor for me to conduct such an everlasting composition by Pejman,” Rohani said in a press conference.

Shahrdad Rohani has led some prestigious orchestras in the world including London’s Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

Rohani has been the guest conductor for Minnesota Orchestra, Colorado Symphony Orchestra, San Diego Symphony and the American Youth Philharmonic Orchestras.

Founded in 1933 as the Municipality Symphony Orchestra, the Tehran Symphony Orchestra is Iran's oldest and largest symphony orchestra.
