Nazy Kaviani writes: The stage was set for an unforgettable performance. They came by planes with suitcases full of instruments and costumes, CD's and books. In the frenzy of last minute details and all that it takes to put stars on a stage, there were moments when friendships were made and renewed and pure joy was born. The September 26th Iranian.com Music Festival -- featuring the Three Iranian Sopranos Kamelia Dara, Nasrin Asgari and Shirin Asgari with Hooman Khalatbari on piano, Lily Afshar on clasical guitar and Fared Shafinury's Tehranosaurus band -- was a fantastic success for the breadth of music and performances it offered the San Francisco Bay Area. Angels sang and masters and promising artists played >>> More

Thanks.  It's all in good fun, though, and I hope that JJ and Fouad take it likewise.  After all, both gentlemen are much more handsom than I am!

Even a bartender (not) is better than a bus boy!

I was waiting

by Anonymous Observer on

for my free round trip ticket from Iranian.com to attend but I never got it.  I thought that all registered users would get one...but I guess I was wrong.

***********************

seriously, looks like a wonderful event.  Lovely ladies and I am sure the music was great as well.

***********************

Now, my other 2 cents for Iranian.com operators:

JJ: Please lose the vest...you look like you were bartending there.

Fouad: Dude, what happened?  You balloned man.  Stop going to lunch with JJ.

While we're on the topic...

It would be nice to have IC events where there is more chance for IC contributors to hang out together. After every event I feel sorry that I didn't have a chance to chat with so-and-so, etc.

Why not a simple catered dinner at a restaurant? Maybe not a huge fundraiser but we can still raise some money too.


Monda

It was a wonderful evening!

by Monda on

I wish I had my volunteer tag on so I could be in the photos too:o)

We had a ball!

by sima on

I'm sorry for all you guys who couldn't be there. It was really good and fun. Can't wait until the next one.

Thanks Bayramali jan

For taking and sharing those beautiful pictures. Looks like it was a fantastic soirée ! I wish I could be there. Big thank to all who worked hard for organizing that festival.

Great artists and beautiful scenes.........

Nazy is getting younger and more beautiful every day! More power to you Nazy jan.

JJ, wears the same vest as Homayoon Shajarian :))

You look great J. Congratulation to your sister. She did a great job on you!


Anonymouse

Yes I liked the vest but also the color coordination ;-) next

by Anonymouse on

Next time you can also try Masih Zad's designs.

Generally speaking I think if anyone can be a good model for styles such as these you are the #1 candidate!  In events such as these who better to promote than the Iranian promoter himself? right?!

Thank you for the beautiful photos Bayramali jan. You really brought out the best.

That night the artists proved why they are among the best in our generation. Superb and delangeez!

Anonymouse, you liked the vest? It is by Farahnaz Mazandarani. See here:

Anonymouse

Who picked JJ's clothes?

by Anonymouse on

I only saw one picture of JJ but looks like his sense of style has vastly improved!  He looks like he is in his prime and really the look of a person worthy of being at the top of such an elegant event, which he is and now you-know-it!
