The performance, slated for July 27 in the Mazandaran capital city of Sari, is organized under the auspices of Tehran-based Roudaki Foundation, affiliated to the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance, Mazandaran Music Association and the provincial department of Culture Ministry, Khabaronline reported.
A total of 60 prominent musicians form the orchestra. At the upcoming performance, they will be accompanied by pop and traditional singer Mohammad Esfahani, 51, who so far has released 16 studio albums and two live concert albums.
