The city of Heerlen will be hosting the concert on October 2, and the next destination will be The Hague on October 8, the Public Relations Office of the Simorgh project reported on Monday. Simorgh is a multidimensional performance and its previous performances in Iran were warmly welcomed, however the positive point is that young conductor Khalatbari is accompanying the team this time, the report added.
