The program titled “Nights with the Honor of Iranian Music” has been organized by the orchestra’s permanent conductors, Shahram Tavakkoli and Ali-Akbar Qorbani, and music director Sussan Taqipur.

“I have returned to the stage after several years and I hope to see art lovers at the concerts,” Fakhreddini said in press release on Saturday. “Surely, they will like it,” he added. 

Fakhreddini will accompany the orchestra as guest conductor during the concerts.

A repertoire featuring pieces that Fakhreddini has composed over the past 50 years will be performed at the concerts.

“Vague Pain”, “For My daughter”, “Wave”, “Persian Gulf”, “The Homayun Suite” and “The Avicenna Suite” are among the pieces selected for the performances.   

“I will eagerly be waiting to see people’s smiling faces at the Vahdat Hall,” said Fakhreddini who founded Iran’s National Orchestra in 1998 and conducted it until 2016, when he resigned due to a lack of cooperation from cultural officials.
