On the 1st of October 2011 on the International Day of Music in St. Petersburg, Russia, the music of Iranian composer Mehdi Hosseni will be performed. His Concerto for String Quartet and Orchestra will be conducted by Igor Ponomarenko (Russia). This work of Hosseni was composed in 2008 and is based on the regional Iranian music “Torbat-e Jam.” The world premier of this work took place in 2010 under the direction of Brad Cawyer (USA), conducting the St. Petersburg Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra.
