Celebrating Richard Danielpour

On January 21, the Iranshahr Orchestra, conducted by Stefan Lano and Shahab Paranj, will celebrate the 70th birthday of American composer Richard Danielpour. The program features violinist Aida Kavafian performing Fiat Lux, Danielpour’s violin concerto, as well as his Symphony for Strings. The concert also includes two works that reflect the composer’s Persian heritage: Songs of Love and Loss, sung by acclaimed American soprano Hila Plitmann, and Breaking the Veil, performed by soloists Catherine Gregory, Kristin Wolfe Jensen, and Alecia Lawyer.
