IRANIAN MUSIC HERITAGE MOVEMENT

The Iranian Music Heritage Movement is a non-profit organization promoting the study of Iranian identity

in the context of Western classical music

We aim to celebrate existing music heritage and the creation or perfor-mance of new repertoire, to preserve and restore music materials, raise

interest in the usage of traditional Persian instruments in Western music groups, as well as to encourage, record and award contemporary music

compositions.
