The second phase of the “World Youth Orchestra – Sounds for Iran” project, involving musicians from Italy, Iran and other Countries, will kick off in Tehran on 2 August. The first phase of the Project took place in June in Italy with a musical laboratory set up for young Iranian musicians.
Project activities will top off on 10 and 12 August with three concerts by the World Youth Orchestra, conducted by Maestro Damiano Giuranna, held at Tehran’s Vahdat Hall together with the Tehran Symphony Orchestra and the Iran National Orchestra.
The Project, supported by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and approved by the Ministry of Culture of the Islamic Republic of Iran, was promoted by the World Youth Orchestra Foundation in partnership with the Santa Cecilia Music Conservatory and the University of Rome La Sapienza. The concerts were organized with the invaluable contribution of the Roudaki Foundation and of the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Italy.
The project is of special significance in the new phase of cultural exchanges between Italy and Iran.
