    Tjeknavorian to perform piece of music dedicated to Holy Prophet

    Tehran, Jan 1, IRNA


    The prominent Iranian-born composer and conductor, Loris
    Tjeknavorian, will lead the Armenian Orchestra to perform a piece of
    music dedicated to the Holy Prophet of Islam during the ongoing 22nd
    Fajr International Music Festival in Tehran.

    The 10-day festival started on Saturday simultaneously in the capital
    city of Tehran and the southern city of Chabahar on the Gulf of Oman
    coasts with the participation of over 1,200 domestic and foreign
    artists.

    The melody, called "The Prophet of Love and Hope," is to be performed
    by the Armenia Philharmonic Orchestra led by Tjeknavorian.

    It is a combination of music, musical play and words, composed by an
    Iranian musician, Mehdi Shojaei, and prepared for the orchestra by
    Tjeknavorian.

    The melody is to mark the Year of Prophet Mohammad (Peace Be Upon
    Him) as the current Iranian calendar year (to end March 20, 2007) is
    designated to the Holy Prophet.

    Tjeknavorian is also to perform works by world famous composers
    during the 22nd Fajr International Music Festival.

    "The Prophet of Love and Hope" represents different eras of the
    Prophet Mohammad's (PBUH) life including his birth, his appointment
    as the Messenger of God, capture of the holy city of Mecca, his last
    Hajj pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca and his demise.

    The 22nd International Fajr Music Festival will continue until
    January 7, 2007.
