About us

The Euro-Persian Art Organization is a non-profit, non-religious, non-political organization with a primary focus on music. 



We create a cultural connection between western culture and pre-Islamic Persian cultural heritage by organizing diverse art activities and educational programs focused on intercultural communication and intercultural awareness. We build a cultural bridge between the past and the present, a musical and cultural dialogue between the West and ancient Persia. We combine well-known existing western classical music with authentic traditional Persian music, alongside new compositions and new arrangements in one concert within the genre of classical music. Within this organization, we have gathered two separate groups which contain high-quality international musicians together, under the titles Euro-Persian Art Ensemble and Euro-Persian Pop Band.



The instrumental setting of the Euro-Persian Art Ensemble includes traditional Persian instruments in addition to modern Western classical instruments and the human voice. This gives an extra charm and color, a new experience within the realm of classical music. Euro-Persian Art Ensemble is NOT a world music ensemble, neither is it a fusion or a traditional Persian ensemble, rather we aim to provide a unique contribution to the classical world. Next to the Euro-Persian Art Ensemble, the Euro-Persian Pop Band performs popular music. 


We encourage our composers/artists in residence to write music that showcases the best that western and Persian traditions have to offer. This combination of western classical music and contemporary classical music alongside traditional Persian musical elements will open many new possibilities and experiences. These include new instrumentations, new colors, new harmony, new counterpoint, and a new sound! 




Concretely, we will organize concerts, music lessons for children and adults, masterclasses, workshops, art/history lectures, children/ adult choirs, and music seminars. We also provide professional music services.

By employing art as a platform for cooperation, dialogue, and education, we aim to deepen our mutual understanding and respect. We believe that this collaboration will have great value in society, and we are very motivated to bring our art to the public.
