One Book One Philadelphia Closing Finale
Presenter: Black Pearl Chamber Orchestra
Location: Free Library of Philadelphia 1901 Vine St.
The eighth season of One Book, One Philadelphia draws to an end on Wednesday, March 17, and the Free Library of Philadelphia is set to celebrate the success with a special evening of music at the Parkway Central Library at 7:30 p.m. The free event will highlight and honor the Golha, a series of radio programs introduced in Iran in 1956. Each week on the Golha, the foremost Iranian musicians, vocalists, literary critics, poets, and radio announcers were invited to perform a selection of the best modern and classical music and poetry. The Black Pearl Chamber Orchestra and Intercultural Journeys, along with local authors, poets, and musicians, will take to the stage to celebrate Iran’s rich cultural and artistic heritage, as well as this year’s featured reading selection, Marjane Satrapi’s The Complete Persepolis. Through a unique live recreation of a Golha radio program, the Black Pearl Chamber Orchestra will provide a cultural context for Satrapi’s childhood experiences.
