Friends, 
On May 12th , IZA brings us an evening of classical and Iranian music by the Barbad Chamber Orchestra (named after a sixth century composer) at Darbe Mehr.
 
This is an orchestra with an Iranian conductor as well as some of the members. They perform classical music by Mozart and Mendelssohn as well as couple of contemporary western-type classical music by Iranian composers Reza Vali and Ramin Heydarbeygi.

There is a $15 charge ($10 for Students and Seniors). After the event, please stay for a taste of wine and Persian food. The flyer is attached here.

Please join us at the Darbe Mehr, at 8 pm for this unique opportunity. Hearing the elegant classical and traditional melodies flow through our Darbe Mehr will be a landmark event. And Remember! Please send an email RSVP to Shirin to let her know that you plan to attend. (sherrykiamane@hotmail.com)

Warmly,
