On 19th July 2018, musicians of THE INTERNAVA PROJECT were driven by mini bus from Tehran, four hours into the desert at sunset, in the ruins of the 700 year-old Dome of Soltaniyeh.

The towering Dome of Soltaniyeh is believed to be the inspiration for the Taj Mahal.

The group recorded a minimalist work Sus-Septet Tempus by the Tehran cardiologist Dr. Farokhzad Layegh.

It feels wondrously unifying, apt for a day of peace.

The musicians are violinist Darragh Morgan (Ireland), violinist Viktoria Mavromoustaki (Cyprus), violist Miguel Sobrinho and cellist Pedro Silva Portgual, with Iranian cellists Makan Khoinejad and Negar Norad.
