Hispan TV- The city of Tehran (Iranian capital) hosts more than 30 music bands from around the world in the 33rd 'Fayr International Music Festival' of Iran.�In this event, the first and only director of the Iranian orchestra, National Orchestra Naghme Baran, has impressed the audience.


Bringing some of the most beautiful Persian orchestral pieces to a crowded concert hall, Nozhat Amiri became the first woman to direct the Naran Baran National Orchestra of Iran;�performing pieces composed by prominent musicians such as Hossein Dehlavi, Homayun Khorram and Morteza Hannaneh.

In a world where even today some doubt that a woman will lead an orchestra, Nozhat Amiri says she owes everything to the support she received from her husband, and the friends who believed in her abilities.

Ms. Amiri, a master's degree in music from the University of Tehran, conducted an orchestra founded by veteran composer Hossein Dehlavi in ??2005, a collaboration that did not last long, but paved the way to the Bagh Naghme National Orchestra.

Today, Nozhat Amiri proudly represents Iranian women in a growing group of women who break one of the last limits of the Persian music industry: take the director's baton!
