NA/MK, "Greece to host Iranian vocalist" - Press TV - Tehran, IranTuesday, July 22, 2008
Shahram Nazeri, one of the most prominent Persian vocalists, is scheduled to perform classical and mystic pieces in Athens, Greece.
The Hellenic Festival will witness a 90-minute performance by Nazeri. He will perform songs adapted from the works of outstanding Iranian poets Mowlavi and Hafez.
Nazeri will be accompanied by fellow Iranian artists, the virtuoso Tanbur player Ali-Akbar Moradi, percussionist Pejman Haddadi and Daf player Kourosh Moradi.
Three-stringed Tanbur and Daf (frame drum) are traditional Persian music instruments.
Greek lyrist Matthaios Tsachourides will also collaborate with the ensemble.
In September 2007, Nazeri received the French Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres Medal for his significant role in advancing traditional Persian music.
Nazeri, also known as the 'Persian Nightingale', is slated to perform in Athens' Scholeion Theatre on July 25.
