    LONDON, September 13 (IranMania) - Iranian Melal (nations) Orchestra
    conducted by Peyman Soltani will perform in Persepolis (Takht-e
    Jamshid) from September 28-30.

    In an interview with ISNA, Soltani said that the orchestra, which
    includes 85 instrumentalists, will perform various pieces to the
    accompaniment of a chorus.

    According to him, the pieces include a number of foreign works and
    the first national anthem of Iran, which dates back to the reign of
    the Qajar king, Mozaffareddin Shah (1896-1907), and will be performed
    for the first time in the country.

    The piece was composed by Frenchman Monsieur Lumer to be played on
    the piano but it has been set to the orchestra this time, he noted.

    Performances of local pieces including Se Chekkeh, Ilcheh Beglar,
    which have been set by Siavash Beizaei are also on the agenda.

    Other works, including a piece by an Armenian composer, ?Dawn Bird?
    by Morteza Neidavoud, ?Fog? by Peyman Soltani, ?Cry? by Aref Qazvini,
    are also scheduled to be performed in Persepolis.

    The conductor further said that the orchestra includes ten
    instrumentalists from Armenia.

    ?Former head of Iran?s Cultural Heritage and Tourism Organization
    Hoseein Marashi had issued permission for the orchestra to perform
    free of charge at historical monuments including Chehelsotun Palace,
    Esfahan, Kakh-e Soltan, Tehran, Soltanieh Dome, Zanjan, Fin Garden
    (Kashan),? he noted.

    Melal Orchestra will also perform here at Andisheh Hall of Arts Center
    from October 2-5.
