SOUNDING IRAN:
UC Irvine on February 7–8
Co-chairing with Hesam Adebini and Hossein Omoumi, this conference is something we are all proud of. In hopes that the space cultivates thought and togetherness in this critical time.
This interdisciplinary conference brings together scholars, musicians, artists, and educators for panels, conversations, and performances focused on music, sound, and culture in relation to Iran and the Iranian diaspora. In addition to the academic sessions, the conference includes evening concerts and performances that may be of particular interest.
This program is made possible by the generous support of the Maseeh Endowment Fund and the Marjorie and Robert Rawlins Endowment Fund, and sponsorship from the UC Irvine Department of Music and the UCI Jordan Center for Persian Studies and Culture
