TEHRAN – The Iranian ensemble Homayun directed by conductor Mehran Mehrnia will be leaving Iran on September 25 to give concerts in Vietnam.
 
Vocalist Amir Asna-Ashari will accompany the band in their performances due to be held for four nights in several cities including the capital Hanoi, the Persian service of ISNA reported on Wednesday.
 
The band will be performing a collection of traditional Iranian songs composed by Mehrnia, however several old songs have also been selected for the performances.
 
This is the first time an Iranian ensemble will perform in Vietnam, Asna-Ashari said, adding that a series of programs have been arranged in conjunction with the concerts at several academic centers to introduce rich Iranian culture and music.
 
He expressed hope that the journey of Iranian musicians will help broaden cultural relations between the two countries and would carry a message of peace.
 
The ensemble features Shahram Saremi on kamancheh, Mir-Farsad Malek-Nia on daf, and Sepehr Bahraii on santur.
