"Hope makes life beautiful, gives us strength, and enables us to overcome many obstacles. Holding on to hope is a uniquely human ability, and can be the last thing an person loses . Life without hope is impossible. In this workshop, we will reflect on the rays of hope that can be found in the verses of old and new Iranian poets. We will give voice to these texts, and study how to transmit hope to one another through the art of singing." - Mahsa Vahdat
