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.

MOAASER is a free non-profit online music academy, co-founded by Nasim Khorassani, Pedram Diba, and Sohrab Motabar, supporting Iranian students. MOAASER runs annual courses in contemporary music and stands for freedom of expression and equity, aiming to expand this cultural movement across the Iranian music society; in some ways, our cultural revolution started two years ago! Due to the current circumstances in Iran, we had to pause our fall course; instead, we decided to perform our students’ work. This concert represents Voices From Iran that has never been heard, and we have the honor to present them at Persian Cultural Center. Please join our concert and support our students’ Voices From Iran.

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.
