In March 2008, we celebrated Persian New
Year with a concert featuring music and artists from this part of the world,
along with brilliant works from the Western classical tradition. The concert
was so well-received we’ve decided to return to Persia this season, once
again in time to celebrate Persian New Year (“Nowruz”). Pianist Tara
Kamangar returns to OEBS, this year joined by Persian soloists Cyrus Beroukhim
(violin) and Arash Amini (cello) in a performance of Beethoven’s ingenious
Triple Concerto, a popular work with a unique combination of instruments taking
solo turns with the orchestra.
We’ll also perform works by Persian
composers Behzad Ranjbaran, whose music has recently been performed by such
artists as Joshua Bell, Yo-Yo Ma and Renee Fleming, and Ahmad Pejman, who is
known for his film scores and popular music, as well as his orchestral works.
The selection by Ranjbaran is Seemorgh from his Persian Trilogy, a lush
three-movement work based on one of the most colorful and fascinating stories
in the Shahnameh (Book of Kings).
