A UK-Iran Musical Encounter

Listen to the Stay Close Project, a 13-piece orchestra initiated by composer and sound artist Soosan Lolavar, following research periods in both countries. Drawing on two distinctive musical traditions, Lolavar’s project challenges her British-Iranian heritage and encourages collaboration by composing a new work which brings together classical musicians from the London Philharmonic Orchestra Foyle Future Firsts Scheme and from Nava Arts UK, the centre for classical and regional music of Iran. On this occasion they perform the premiere of a 20-minute piece featuring a fusion of styles.
