Tehran orchestra to perform symphonic poem ‘Alamdar’

Iranian symphonic poem ‘Alamdar’ (The Standard-Bearer) is set to be performed by the Tehran Symphonic Orchestra at Vahdat Hall for five consecutive nights.

‘Alamdar’, composed by Iranian musical prodigy Pouriya Khadem, is about Hazrat Abbas (AS), the brother of Imam Hussein (AS) and the standard-bearer of the Imam’s squad in the Ashura battle, during which the Imam and his companions were martyred.

The orchestra will be conducted under the baton of Bardia Kiaras who will be accompanied by vocalist Pouriya Akhavas and a choir of veteran singers.

Actor Parviz Parastouee is the producer and narrator of the program.  

There will also be a dramatic show along with the performances to be directed by Hossein Parsaee.

The performances will take place as a result of collaboration between the Rudaki Foundation and the Khademin Ali ibn Abi Talib (AS) Charity Organization, which is being handled by Olympic gold medalist wrestler Rasoul Khadem, Pouriya’s father, and Parastouee.  

The performances will be organized to raise funds for the poor across the country.

The Tehran Symphonic Orchestra performed ‘Alamdar’ at Vahdat Hall during a charity concert in September 2020.

The orchestra will be performed starting from September 05, 2022.
