Sounding Iran: Musical Pasts, Presents and Futures

This two-day interdisciplinary conference is organized by UC Irvine ICIT Alumni Hesam Abedini and University of Florida Professor Payam Yousefi.

Each night will be a different concert—highlighting the richness and diversity of music in Iran and its diaspora while featuring performances that reflect the evolving traditions, experimental practices and transnational dialogues shaping Iranian musical life today.
