Shajarian in London

Persian classical music’s reigning bad-ass Mohammad Reza Shajarian is playing in London at Cadogan Hall this April 29 and 30, and tickets are really cheap. We’re talking from ten to 35 British pounds cheap. (That’s like seeing Mozart, if he were alive, in the nosebleeds for around $20) So all our English readers not coming to the IAAB conference/Abjeez concert that weekend should absolutely go to this performance. Buy your tickets now, as they always sell out – the Cadogan Hall website can hook you up or you can call +44 (20) 77304500. We’re jealous, Londoners, so don’t miss this one. And good work to the Iran Heritage Foundation and Nava Arts (a Persian folk/classical music promoter without a website, or with one that we can’t find) for making it happen.
