Please join us for this conversation as we explore the gender issues in Iran’s western classical music scene. This session will be an online webinar over zoom with our artists: Sheida Gharachedaghi, Ariana Barkeshli, Martyna Kosecka, Golnar Shahyar, and Alireza Banaei.

The Webinar Series “Iranian Womxn in Music” is a research collaboration between (IFCA) Iranian Female Composers Association and Female Voice of Iran curated by ethnomusicologist Yalda Yazdani.

This research will be in the form of online discussions, panels, and interviews with ethnomusicologists, instrumentalists, composers, and singers in different regions of Iran and abroad, focusing on gender Issues in post-revolutionary Iran’s music scene.

For the first webinar, we are so honored to have the invitation from Emruz Festival, co-curated by Niloufar Nourbakhsh and Shadi Ghaheri with Development and Production Director, Kazem Ghouchani to present three days of a symposium on 6, 7, and 8th March 2021.
