Maestro Mohammad Reza Shajarian and Shahnaz Ensemble will tour in Europe in September 2009, while his concerts in Iran in this summer were cancelled probably because of the unrests of Iran's post-election. The fourteen musicians who accompany Shajarian are young, but talented and among the best musicians in Iran. The melodies and pieces have been composed by Shajarian himself and Majid Derakhshani, the famous tar and setar player who is one of the most important members of Shahnaz Ensemble.
The maestro's tour concert will start on Sep. 4th in Frankfurt, Germany and Sep. 5th in one of the best stages of Europe, Kölner Philharmonie, in Cologne, Germany and will be continued in other cities such as Hannover, Zurich, Paris and London.
Shajarian is one of the greatest and the most active musicians of Iran who has gained many awards in music including a couple of important UNESCO awards. The name of Shahnaz is for the appreciation of maestro Jalil Shahnaz, the great master of tar, also mentioning to a famous piece of Shahnaz in Dastgah-e-Shour, the mother of Persian melody modes.
