Aftab Darvishi: Only Violets Remain
French premiere of Aftab Darvishi’s ‘Only violets remain’ by the Orchestra National Des Pays De La Lore (ONPL) under Alexei Ogrintchouk.
Iranian-Dutch composer Aftab Darvishi’s orchestral work ‘Only violets remain’ is a testament to women worldwide who are standing up for their rights. The occasion for this composition is the death of Mahsa Amini. She died after being arrested in Iran for not wearing her headscarf correctly. The title of the piece is taken from a poem by Kobayashi Issa: “Before I arrived, who were the people living here? Only violets remain.”
