Persian Fall Festival at the SDMA with Reza Rohani and Sara Naeini:
October 5, 2019
The San Diego Museum of Art has designated a specific gallery for the Arts of Iran since 2017. Showcasing some of the best Persian art objects from the museum’s permanent collection, as well as some fine loaned objects from other museums, this gallery illustrates a brief and yet profound development of Persian civilization and art in history and within today’s global context. The establishment of this rather new gallery in 2017 was the result of the collaborative efforts between the Persian Cultural Center (PCC) and the museum’s leadership and curators of South Asian and Islamic Art. The San Diego Museum of Art and PCC are pleased to, with the support of the community, continue the collaboration to take Arts of Iran to great and new heights. On the third anniversary of this artistic achievement, the museum and PCC organized a magnificent festival during which Reza Rohani and Sara Naeini, along with their full band, performed some great pieces. All proceeds from this program were allocated to the San Diego Museum of Art. Nearly 300 residents of San Diego and Southern California attended this magnificent event. Special thanks to Anahita Babaei who managed this event and the Art and Culture group of PCC for help in all aspects of this event. The VIP pre-concert reception was held at the Museum rotunda. Many thanks to Fazeli Winery for providing wine and to Amir Gohari’s catering company, Amir’s Catering, for providing finger food for the VIP guests.
