Iranian woman launches German orchestra
OrchestrasThe enterprising exiled conductor Yalda Zamani has just formed a new chamber orchestra in Hamburg, where she teaches at the Hochschule.
The Chamber Orchestra Elbe will make its debut on Dec 12 at 7.30pm at the Elbphilharmonie with Mahan Esfahani as soloist in a new concerto by Gary Carpenter. Zamani will also premiere works by two Iranian women composers, Anahita Abbasi and Farzia Fallah.
It’s all last-minute and pre-Christmas, but with the Iranian regime responsible for so much suffering in the world today, it is heartening to hear of independent Iranian women who are making themselves heard.
Catch that concert if you can.
