Day of NOWRUZ. Following the musical evening to commemorate the International Day of Nowruz held at the Iranian Embassy in April 2017 and thanks to the kind support and sponsorship this year from Quercus Investment Partners, Britannia Petroleum and Child & Child, we are fortunate in being able to present this evening’s performance at Asia House, as a repeat of the programme performed at the Iranian Embassy yesterday evening. Since last year’s Nowruz musical evening, a music organisation, INTERNAVA, has been formed by co-founders Ali Adeli, Farokhzad Layegh, Layla Ramezan and Adib Rostami and I am extremely grateful to them for their hard work, support and encouragement. Tonight’s performance is being presented in association with Talent Unlimited (Founder Director: Canan Maxton), a music charity that supports exceptionally talented young musicians from all over the world with their studies in London. This evening’s programme of music is drawn entirely from the 20th and 21st Centuries. The popular minimalist composers Philip Glass and Michael Nyman, the Iranian composer Farokhzad Layegh (a UK premiere), the 22 year-old M.Mus. student Edward Kempton, who takes the inspiration for his latest composition from the music of Takemitsu and Four Haikus by Robert Spiess, the Armenian-Iranian composer Loris Tjeknavorian, who is celebrating his 80th Birthday Anniversary this year and a rarely heard student work by the legendary Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich. Adib and Mehdi Rostami perform their own improvisations, which they have prepared especially for this evening’s performance. ! 0678!49:;<:=>?=@!&A:>9!+?=BAC9?7@!-:<76=!4DE;<?=D!.7C<:>976@!F6<B69!#6GG@! *6=A67D!HIJKL!$<?9?M76;<:7N!'<>6=!,:M<6O69 Welcome to this musical evening at Asia House,!! to commemorate the International!
