In recognition of Nowruz, the Iranian New Year, NOWRUZ: Light Always Prevails is a powerful concert honoring the enduring voices, resilience, and cultural legacy of Iranians through music.
This special evening features a rare live appearance by Parissa, the Grande Dame of Iranian music. Since 1979, Parissa’s performances have been banned in Iran, making each of her appearances abroad especially meaningful. Her last concert took place in 2019 on Farhang Foundation’s stage, and her return now marks an exceptional and deeply significant moment offering audiences another very rare opportunity to experience the mastery, emotional depth, and timeless artistry of a living legend in person.
The concert also marks an important milestone with opera star Golda Zahra, who will make her Persian-language debut on Farhang’s stage. Having conquered some of the world’s most prestigious opera houses and concert halls, Zahra brings her extraordinary voice to a repertoire that bridges global excellence with Iranian cultural expression.
Joining them is the Iranshahr Orchestra, under the direction of Maestro Shahab Paranj, whose dynamic and nuanced orchestral interpretations unite tradition with contemporary sensibilities, providing a powerful musical foundation for this evening of recognition and reflection.
Farhang Foundation is proud to once again partner with the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music and the Gramian-Emrani Center for Iranian Music at UCLA in presenting this annual Nowruz tradition, an evening of recognition, reflection, and artistic integrity through the universal language of music.
