    TEHRAN -- The 30th Fajr International Music Festival was inaugurated
    on Friday with a variety of performances in several venues across
    Tehran.

    Tehran's Vahdat Hall hosted a performance by Tehran Philharmonic
    Orchestra directed by conductor Nader Mashayekhi on its opening day
    followed by a piano recital from Germany.

    The Tehran Philharmonic Orchestra is an orchestra recently established
    by the Tehran Municipality in collaboration with the Iranian Artists
    forum.

    Rudaki Hall hosted several solo performances of piano and violin on
    the first day.

    The Iranian ensembles Khonya led by Pari Maleki and Sahand directed by
    conductor Rashid Vatandust gave their performances at the Eivan-e
    Shams Hall in Tehran.

    In addition, Arasbaran Cultural Center and Azadi Tower were the hosts
    of several performances.

    This year, in addition to many local Iranian musicians, ten groups
    from across the world are participating in the festival, which will
    run until February 20.

    The foreign groups will perform 15 concerts during the festival.

    The groups are from Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Italy,
    Switzerland, Estonia, Armenia, Tunisia and Iraq.

    Two performances by Italian quartet Maurice led by violinist Georgia
    Privitera are scheduled to be held at Shams Hall today and on February
    17. Laura Bertolino, Francesco Vernero and Aline Privitera are the
    other members of the quartet.

    Moreover, Dutch quartet composed of tenor and soprano saxophonist Yuri
    Honing, pianist Wolfert Brederode, double bassist Ruben Samama and
    drummer Joost Lijbaart will give concerts at Vahdat Hall on February
    15 and 16.
