Tehran’s Vahdat Hall played host to the Tehran Symphony Orchestra, which performed a range of classical compositions from Iran and the MIKTA countries including Mexico, Indonesia, South Korea, Turkey and Australia conducted by Iranian maestro Shahrdad Rohani.
The performance, organized by the MIKTA countries embassies in Tehran, was as much a diplomatic effort for expanding cultural ties between Iran and MIKTA – an informal consultation and coordination platform among the five countries formed in 2013.
“Cry in Vain”, a composition by Rohani, was also performed at the concert.
MIKTA is a grouping of middle power states that was formed on the margins of the UN General Assembly in 2013.
The five countries of MIKTA come from quite diverse cultures and regions, yet share core values and similarities.
Before the concert, ambassadors and chargé d'affaires of MIKTA countries present at the event, took to the stage to welcome the audience and highlight their respective countries’ efforts to share their cultures with Iran in a bid to further develop friendly relations.
MIKTA countries believe that mutually enriching cooperation begins with people-to-people exchanges and expanding cultural relations. And that is why, they have held the second MIKTA-Iran music concert in Tehran.
