The world-renowned Iranian 'Kamkars' music ensemble is preparing to perform traditional Persian music concerts in Europe and the Iraqi capital of Baghdad.
The group will start off with a concert at the Oslo World Music Festival, performing Persian and Kurdish pieces on July 8, 2010.
"All Persian pieces will be new compositions by me and Pashang, Arsalan and Ardeshir Kamkar," ensemble director Houshang Kamkar told Fars News Agency.
"We will also perform newly composed and folk Kurdish pieces," he added.
On the sidelines of the Norwegian festival, Houshang Kamkar will hold a seminar in English to introduce Persian music.
London's Barbican Hall Center and WOMAD music festival will host the Kamkars in late July.
The ensemble's next program will be in Baghdad, where the Kamkar family will be accompanied by famous Kurdish Iraqi singer Adnan Karim as well as a group of Baghdad Symphonic Orchestra members and musicians from the city of Sulaimaniyah.
A Kurdish family of virtuosic vocalists and instrumentalists, the Kamkars are among Iran's leading musicians who perform traditional Kurdish and Persian music.
