TEHRAN, Nov. 13 (MNA) — Prominent Iranian musician Loris Tjeknavorian
is to conduct an Armenian orchestra in benefit concerts at Tehran’s
Mahak Charity Society from November 29 to December 6.

Austrian musicians will also accompany the orchestra in the program,
which is being organized by the Mahak Charity Society, an institute
that supports Iranian children suffering from cancer.

This will be the orchestra’s second benefit concert program at Mahak.

The funds gained through ticket sales will be spent to equip a hospital
for children with cancer.

The orchestra performed several pieces by Johann Sebastian Bach and
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart as well as Kurdish and Iranian suites and
pieces composed by Tjeknavorian during last year’s program.
