The UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music’s partnership with Farhang Foundation has been a blessing... The enthusiasm for Iranian music is evident in our class enrollments and performances, which invite students and audiences of all backgrounds to celebrate the beauty and traditions of Iranian culture through its music.Farhang Foundation has played a vital lead role in making this all possible.
The Getty's collaboration with the Farhang Foundation was critical to the success of the Villa's 2013 exhibition on one of the most important ancient inscriptions in the world, the famous Cyrus Cylinder. I am therefore delighted that we will be partnering again on Persia: Ancient Iran and the Classical World, scheduled to open in March 2021. It is a great pleasure for me to thank... the Foundation's board, for their friendship and collaboration in promoting Iranian arts and culture to our visitors.
