Roudaki Hall Hosts Three Nights of Bach
TEHRAN -- A three-night
program devoted to the music of Johann Sebastian Bach opened on Sunday at Roudaki Hall in Tehran, led by the conductor Sahar Anzali.
The series, titled “A Night With Johann Sebastian Bach,” continues through Tuesday and brings together a full choir with piano and flute soloists.
Presented by the Roudaki Foundation, the concerts feature selections from Bach’s vocal and instrumental works, with Anzali directing a program that highlights both the clarity and emotional depth of the composer’s writing.
She is joined by Aynaz Ghadirinajad, the pianist, and Rajan Bayat, a flutist whose playing adds a more intimate texture to the large choral setting.
The choir comprises more than two dozen singers: sopranos including Saba Atoofnia, Maral Naderi and Nazanin Zamani; altos such as Saeedeh Abaeean, Yasaman Mohseni and Parya Yarahmadi; tenors like Ehsan Tajik and Omid Salehifar; and basses including Kiaresh Moti’-ol-Hagh and Beniamin Beyglari.
Performances are held at 8 p.m. each night.
