The Iranian Music Heritage Movement is a non-profit

organization promoting the study of Iranian identity
in the context of Western classical music

We aim to celebrate existing music heritage and the creation or performance of new repertoire, to preserve and restore music materials, raise
interest in the usage of traditional Persian instruments in Western music
groups, as well as to encourage, record and award contemporary music
compositions.
