Basic Information
| Description: | To revitalize a century-old musical (choral and operatic) heritage, the Persian Chorus was founded in 2003 in Berkeley, California by its director, Artin Der Minassians. Its preliminary performances at UC Berkeley (2004) and Stanford University (2005) were warmly welcomed by the audience, which culminated in a sold-out concert in April 2005 on the prestigious stage of the Florence Gould Theater located at the heart of the San Francisco Palace of the Legion of Honor. Being the first of its kind in the United States, this ensemble not only takes the responsibility of presenting all-Iranian choral gems to the Persian community but also proudly shares this rich heritage with non-Iranians both as performers and as audience. |
