The Bahar Choir’s Iranian chorists perform Iranian music and contemporary pieces at Grand Junction

The choir and orchestra have come together to perform and promulgate Iranian music, poetry and culture through the performance of well-known Iranian music and contemporary pieces, composed by Arash Fouladvand, the lead musical composer, conductor and overall founder of the project and Bahar Choir.

The Bahar Choir consists of Iranian chorists, whilst the East-Paris Philharmonic Orchestra’s musicians are predominantly French. The choir and orchestra have come together to perform and promulgate the Iranian music, poetry and culture through the performance of well-known Iranian music and contemporary pieces, composed by Arash Fouladvand, the lead musical composer, conductor and overall founder of the project and Bahar Choir.

Arash Fouladvand holds a PhD from the Institute of French Petroleum and a degree in Harmony and Orchestration. He is the youngest conductor who has ever worked with UNESCO.

Today, this choral song has reached maturity and deserves to be presented to the world, well beyond academia or as part of a small room. This project also allows, thanks to a multinational orchestra, to bring out of the shadow of rich traditional Iranian musical works for this year and the countries of Central Asia for the next two years.
