The Rumi Symphony Project

The Rumi Symphony Project is an ongoing work by composer Hafez Nazeri to cross formal boundaries and integrate classical Iranian and Western musical traditions into a new genre. While the essence and elemental structures of Persian music are preserved in this work, its orchestration, harmony, rhythmic patterns, melodic forms, and resonance diverge from traditional Persian musical arrangements. No longer solely Persian or Western, the music matches the transcendent tone of Rumi’s Sufi poetry, transposed into the context of a new age. Rumi Symphony Project is an expression of respect for the legacy of evolution, innovation, and creative.⁣⁣
