Ava Choir
A Yalda Performance
The Ava Choir
Farhang Foundation welcomes back the brilliant Ava Choir of Los Angeles for a special performance as part of our annual celebration of Shab-e Yalda. For this performance, the Ava Choir has chosen to perform two works, including SHAB-E YALDA, composed by Edris Foroughi, and SHAB-E TOOLANI composed by Ali Molaee. The Ava Choir is the first and the only Iranian choir in Los Angeles, under the direction of the creative young composer, conductor, and vocalist Mr. Edris Foroughi, who oversees an enthusiastic Iranian group.
The choir was formed in 2018 by Foroughi, and its mission is to promote Iranian culture, music, and poetry through performances of an eclectic mix of music including well-known Persian choir pieces, Iranian contemporary and folklore tunes rearranged by Foroughi, and new songs composed exclusively for the Ava choir by Foroughi and other composers.
