Akademisches Musikvermittlungsprojekt: “Encounters with Qamar” - Lecture by Elshan Ghasimi-Schindele (Berlin)

Veranstaltungsdaten

In 1924, the singer Qamar-ol-Moluk Vaziri (1905-1959) was the first Muslim woman to perform without hijab on a public stage in front of a mixed audience. In her project, Elshan Ghasimi examines Qamar's life and work in the historical context of her pioneering role, which also extended to many other areas of socio-cultural life in Iran. With examples from musicological practice, this lecture highlights Qamar's formative influence on the situation of female musicians in Iran during the last century up to the present day.

The presentation will be held in English.
