TEHRAN -- Music bands from nine countries applied for attendance at
the 27th Fajr International Music Festival.
The festival organizers are reviewing works submitted by musicians
from Sweden, Switzerland, Germany, Lebanon, Armenia, Syria and other
countries for performances at the festival, the secretary of the event
Hossein Riahi told the Persian service of Fars News Agency.
He said that the jury has selected final works which will be performed
in the choral section of the festival. Finalists in the composition
section and section on music theses will not be announced until the
weekend.
`Fortunately there is a noticeable improvement in the quality of works
received from around the country which came from cities other than
Tehran. They have good quality and we hope this trend continues,' he
added.
He called the festival, which is held annually in Iran, a great
opportunity to discover young talent in the realm of music. He said
many of these young talents are taught by masters of music in academic
centers.
The festival will be held from February 13 to 19.
