Vaak Events and Art Stage Present: Concert for Honiak Music School TUE 26 MAY

In March, an airstrike in Tehran destroyed the Honiak Music Academy, a community space founded by Iranian musicians Hamidreza Afarideh and Sheida Ebadatdoust. Once home to more than 250 students, it was reduced to rubble in moments, with instruments, equipment, and years of dedication lost. Over 20 teachers and staff who worked there are now without income, and a place many called a second home has disappeared.

This fundraising concert brings together an extraordinary line-up of artists including Cigdem Aslan, Kourosh Kanani, Faarjam Saidi, Parham Bahadoran Shohre Khaatoon and Adib Rostami to support rebuilding the academy and restoring what it meant to its community.

Vaak Events and Art Stage will be donating all profits toward helping Afarideh, Ebadatdoust, and their students rebuild the Honiak Music Academy, supporting both the space and the people behind it.
