رونمایی جهانی از آثار هنرجویان معاصر

آکادمی موسیقی آنلاین “معاصر” توسط نسیم خراسانی، پدرام دیبا، و سهراب معتبر به صورت مشترک بنیان‌گذاری شده و برای هنرجویان ایرانی به صورت رایگان دوره‌های سالانه در زمینه‌ی موسیقی معاصر برگزار می‌کند. “معاصر” بر اساس پایه‌گذاری آزادی بیان و برابری نهادینه شده و در اهدلف بلند مدت خود به دنبال گسترش این بنیان در سطح جامعه‌ی آکادمی موسیقی ایران می‌رود؛ که به نوعی می‌توان گفت “معاصر” انقلاب فرهنگی آزادی خود را از دو سال پیش آغاز نموده است. به خاطر شرایط کنونی ایران، ما ناگزیر شدیم که دوره‌ی پاییز امسال را به تعویق بیاندازیم، ولی این افتخار نصیب ما شد که بتوانیم کارهای هنرجویانمان را در کانون فرهنگی ایرانیان اجرا کنیم، و صدای ناشنیده‌شان را به گوش دنیا برسانیم؛ آنان که از ایرانند، و صدایشان، دردشان، امیدشان و حمایتشان را از مردم ایران از طریق موسیقی خود بیان کرده‌اند. از شما تقاضا داریم که با حضور گرمتان در این برنامه از “صداهای عزیزان ما از ایران” حمایت کنید.

Dear community members,

We regret to inform you that the upcoming Chaharshanbehsoori gathering, scheduled for next Tuesday, March 14th, has been canceled due to incoming storms. Our primary objective is to promote and celebrate Iranian culture in our city. However, we made the difficult decision to cancel this event.

The use of generators, lights, and live cables in the wet and windy environment can pose a significant risk to those in attendance, and we do not want to take any chances with the safety of our community. We apologize for any inconvenience it may cause.

We remain committed to organizing future events that celebrate our shared cultural heritage, and we look forward to seeing you at our next events. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter.

His work is a great example of how poetry can be included in our daily lives, many Iranians memorize his works and use them as proverbs. Though known for his Iyric poetry, his poems range from themes of love to those of resistance. His works demonstrate the power of art to express the ineffable. Presented in collaboration with the Persian Cultural Center and San Diego Poetry Annual.
