Bahar Choir

Hezardastan is a celebration of 8 centuries of Saadi and 15 years of the Bahar Choir. 
This concert brings together history, music, and a strong culture. 

We are honoured to have the legend Simin Ghanem. Her voice and her place in the history of 
Persian music make this evening truly special, sharing the stage with the fabulous voices of Sara 
Naeini and Vahid Taj. 

The soloists will perform together with the Bahar Choir and the Paris East Orchestra. More than 
150 singers and musicians will be on stage, creating a rich and powerful sound. 
The full programme is composed and conducted by Arash Fouladvand, the founder of the Bahar 
Choir. His music brings new life to the poetry of Saadi while staying connected to the roots of 
Persian music. 

Hezardastan is a night for everyone who loves cultural events. It celebrates our traditions while 
showing how they continue today. This concert is a chance to experience the past and the present 
together in one place, with artists who have shaped Persian music and artists who carry it forward. 

Bahar Choir
Bahar Choir was founded in 2011 by Arash Fouladvand with the aim of making Persian 
choral music accessible to everyone especially those with no musical background. Over the 
past 15 years, Bahar has become the largest Farsi-speaking choir, with members joining 
from around the world. Today, Bahar Choir continues to grow as a welcoming space for 
learning, creativity, and cultural celebration
