TEHRAN -- The Tehran Vocal Ensemble won the golden medal in the Mixed

The ensemble had three performances: one in the competition section,
one open-air concert and another at Barcelona's Church of St. Maria
del Pi - Barrio Gotico.
They performed several Azeri and Armenian pieces as well as some
European folk music during the festival.

directors, and included Germany's Michael Rinscheid, Estonia's Kai
Toe Ellermaa, Italy's Felix Resch and Czech Republic's Miroslav Kosler.
