The musician who has a great talent with the centuries-old and most traditional of Iranian musical instruments has been invited by the European Council to have a performance on the topic of “Islam and Europe”.

Qamsari, a prolific musician, is to deliver a joint performance with another musican Lucian Khachaturian November 9 in the European Council venue in Strasbourg, reports IRNA.

Qamsari’s Taar performance will stand out as a symbol of Islam and eastern culture in contrast with the piano Khachaturian will play as the symbol of European traditions. Then the arts of the two will mingle together to represent common points the two cultures share.

By organizing the event, the European body hopes to reduce the Islamophobic concepts in Europe.

EU foreign ministers as well as a number of world-renowned figures are going to attend the event.

Qamsari is well recognized outside Iranian borders as he had had performances in over 70 international festivals, produced 15 albums both in Iran and France, worked with the best voices of Iranian music, held workshops in a number of ranking world universities like the Barcelona and Paris conservatories, contributed to peace promotion projects and published books on Iranian traditional music.
