Newsroom

This page features a curated selection of music-related news that I consider significant, timely, and relevant for Persian-speaking audiences. I choose stories from international sources that reflect important developments in the world of music—whether related to composers, performers, institutions, or industry trends—and translate them into Persian for publication in well-known Iranian newspapers and news agencies.

Each news item is selected with care to ensure it brings value to readers by offering insight into artistic, cultural, or educational aspects of music. The content shared here reflects my ongoing effort to connect global musical discourse with Iranian audiences through accurate translation and thoughtful editorial selection.
