A PAIR of refugees are to perform Persian classical and folk music, interspersed with conversation around the censorship of music and cultural expression, at this year’s Edinburgh International Festival.
New Scots Aref Ghorbani, an Iranian-trained classical musician who sought sanctuary in the UK in 2018, and Zozan Yaser, a Kurdish journalist, photographer, and human rights activist whose campaigning forced her to flee home after being arrested by the Turkish government, will perform together in the event on August 13, 2022.
