Episode 010 - Anahita Abbasi and Niloufar Iravani - Iranian Composers in America
Manage episode 333859609 series 3369751
Today we have a wonderful double guest episode. We have the honor to speak two quickly rising stars in the contemporary classical music world, Anahita Abbasi and Niloufar Iravani. We talk about their music, their lives in Iran as well as in America/Europe, and the Iranian Female Composers Association (IFCA). In our discussions we destroy myths Americans might have of Iran and bridge the distance between our two countries.
