Organized by the Loudaki Foundation, the performance brought together a wide range of musicians and featured violinist Pedram Feryosefi as soloist. The program began with Sibelius Improvisation Opus 5 for string ensemble, followed by works by contemporary Iranian composers Golfam Khayyam and Aftab Darvisi. The orchestra played Hayam’s “Simrug” and “Zamzeme,” and then Pedram Feryosefi joined the ensemble for Darvisi’s composition “Diyar.”
The second half of the concert expanded to include a full orchestra with Schubert’s Symphony No. 8 Unfinished in B minor, performing two movements: Allegro moderato and Andante con moto. The evening ended on a high note with the saber dance of Aram Khachaturian’s ballet “Gayine”.
At the end of the performance, Panis Farosefi dedicated the concert to Iranian women and mothers, especially his own mother.
On the second night, the Loudaki Foundation presented recognition plaques to Mr. Panis Feryosefi, Mr. Aftab Darbishi and Mr. Golfam Khayyam.
The concert attracted the audience of prominent Iranian artists, musicians and cultural figures, including Mohamedreza Darvisi, Farima Ghavam Sadri, Kiavash Saheb Nasarg, Shara Milani, and representatives of the Iranian Ministry of Culture and the Loudaki Foundation.
The performance brought together a large number of instrumentalists, including strings, winds, brass, percussion, and harps, reflecting the scale of the Tehran Symphony Orchestra and the collaborative nature of the “Land of Simurgh” project.
