A massive music festival catering to youths has been scheduled to take place in the Iranian capital city of Tehran.

The 11th National Festival of Youth Music will be held at several halls in Tehran from August 30 to September 18, the organizers announced on Saturday.

Over 500 solo and group performances in various genres will be performed by the young musicians during the event – also called the Festival of Junior Music.

The festival will be divided into various parts such as a traditional section, the latter of which will be moderated by veteran musician Hossein Alizadeh.

Musicians in the classical style as well as regional performances are also featured at the event.

Alizadeh has called the event “a spiritual move toward music” that should be embraced nationally.
