Shabnam Parvaresh: The New Leader of the Morgenland Festivals | NDR.de – Culture

by Lena Bathge

The Wochenende das Morgenland Festival zu Ende has taken place in Osnabrück. Since 20 years there has been music in the eastern parts of the Balkans and Asia on a big stage. With the anniversary it comes to a fuhrungswechsel, the Gründer des Festivals, Michael Dreyer, hört auf. The Australian clarinetist and composer Kinan Azmeh from 2025 were born in Osnabrück in 2026 with Iranian composers, clarinetists and composers Shabnam Parvaresh das Festival gestalten.

Tomorrowland Festival hat for Shabnam Parvaresh everything changes

For Shabnam Parvaresh, he will be in the region: 2009 will be the first time with the Tomorrowland Festival in Berührung, creating an english friendship with this kind of Gründer. Damals plays the bass clarinet in the Tehran Symphony Orchestra, and is accepted as a woman into the patriarchal Mullah system after a career. If you play music, look at the propaganda. Schließlich fällt sie die Entscheidung, den Iran zu verlassen: “I have come to Osnabrück on the roads of the Tomorrowland Festival. That was my first beginning in Osnabrück. Durch the Festival habe ich meinen Mann kengelernt. These Festival was sehr wichtig in my Leben andd hat quickly changes everything for me.” You will see that in 2026 you will see the Festival Leitung.

Kindness in Iran pregt Musik bis heute

Parvaresh studied Jazz-Musik in Osnabrück. In Iran I am a thing of the unmöglichkeit. If you want to mitre your instrument, you must weld the housing. An nut that comes with it was quickly unimaginable. Tanten and Onkel, who live in the US, arrange this by Post. With the Internet come all new Möglichkeiten: Einmal verringt Parvaresh fun Tage eight Stunden and 35 Minuten damit, een illegal album herunterzuload. Später can be this Erfahrung a Song Schreiben. My Kindness in Iran is my own music: “I am immersed, the traditional Iranian music is irgendwie in my own musical language. I am a blinder passenger in my Gepäck come. I find it exciting, damn my own Sprache zu entwickeln.”

Music by Shabnam Parvaresh is a genre mix

Parvaresh did not intend to: In the Schublade der “Tradition” was checked. Your music is a genre mix, while the composers try to experiment, improvise and experiment. Ihr neuestes Projekt: Die Gedichte der bekannten Iranian Lyrikerin Forugh Farrochzad in Musik zu übersetzen: “Forugh Farrochzad war als Frau für mech immer ein Vorbild. Weil sie den Tabus und Rollenbildern broadersetzt hat and ihren eigenen Weggangen.” Damit wants to feature Parvaresh on a soundtrack for the active Frau.Leben.Freiheit Proteste in Iran.

Derren Freiheitsdrang findet themselves for the Komponistin in the Roots of the Iranians Dichterin wieder, obwohl zwischen the current Protests and Farrochzads Versen more Jahrzehnte vergangs since: “Sie ist a renommiertes Beispiel, aber es gibt so often Frauen, their Names we don’t know. Aber die When people take to the streets and protest, it is not the case that art and music are political for me. Job and my Botschaft, deren Stimme zu sein.” With my own music, Shabnam Parvaresh Brücken will change cultures and be able to hear them as well as follow Michael Dreyer at the Morgenland Festival.
