Without any exaggeration, the scientific, cultural and artistic achievements have been and are the basis of many human developments throughout the millennia Hacoupian, in its turn, as a private sector development organization, is grateful and a guardian of the unrelenting efforts of Iran’s human and social capitals.
The Virtuoso, Mr. Kayhan Kalhor
A Glance at the Global Position of Mr. Kalhor
For the first time, his name resonated in the early 70s. That is, when he made the album Night, Silence and Desert in praise of the local music and status of North Khorasan and was able to change the mood of Iranian music. At that time, many musicians in Iran introduced Kayhan Kalhor as a young genius of Iranian music by referring to his album. He was only 30 years old and maybe he didn’t think that only two decades later, the predictions about him would come true, and in 2018 he would get the title of the most universal visage of Iran’s music.

Today, Iranian music and its ancient corners (gushehs) have put a face in front of the eyes of the people of the world who has been nominated for a Grammy award six times and brought this award to Iran once with the “Silk Road” group. . Kayhan Kalhor also has the German Music Critics Award in his career. He has twice been nominated for the National Treasure Award in the United States, and his name has been mentioned many times in international circles as one of the most prominent musicians in the world. Just some time ago, when the English magazine “Sidelines” wanted to introduce the names of 20 musicians as the best musicians in the world on the occasion of its 20th birthday, it could not ignore Kayhan Kalhor and named him among the best in the world today. His summit of brilliance was in 2019. . He was able to win the Womex Award and was announced as the World Music Man of the Year. At the same time, some analysts introduced his sound instrument as the unique language of humanity in music, which brought to mind the “commotion of love”.
Kalhor has collaborated with many figures in the world, namely Ardal Arzanjan from Turkey, Shujaat HosseinKhan from India, Toumani Diabate from Mali, Jojoma from China, Alim Kasemov from the Republic of Azerbaijan, Brooklyn Rider String Quartet, New York Philharmonic Orchestra, Kronos Quartet, Netherlands Wind Ensemble, Rembrandt Trio. He has also collaborated with famous director Francis Ford Coppola, but his collaboration with the Brooklyn Rider group from America and the performance of the album “Silent City” made his musical language a global language. The Silent City is a narrative of protest against the chemical bombing of Halabja, which in a way turned the wound of this inhuman treatment into a common pain for all the people of the world.

Hacoupian/Kalhor Nights, a Covenant for a Historical Search in Iranian Art
Hacoupian’s view of Kalhor was to create a link between two artistic activities that should leave a common message for Hacoupian’s audience and even all citizens, and that is in today’s times and with all the difficulties that can be considered for life, the only unbounded language is art that can maintain human society as a dynamic process alive and warm, and increase hope for the future. Hacoupian’s industry-art, in the direction of promoting the noble art of Kayhan Kalhor language, found the best dialect to strengthen his social presence and protect human ideas and thoughts. Therefore, in December 1998, the nights of Kalhor and Hacoupian were created, and the performance lasted for 40 nights. Of course, one night, ” Hacoupian Citizens ” were specially invited to the Royal Hall of the Espinas Palace Hotel to immortalize the heavenly gift of Kalhor. His instrumental language is taken from the corners (gushehs) of the music of Iranian ethnic groups, and it is undoubtedly the responsibility of all citizens to try their part to resound the romantic sound of art and the message of their motherland, which is placed in the heart of all art activities. With the same view, we only wanted to play our part in this history-making campaign. Undoubtedly, the coexistence of clothing industry-art with the miraculous art of Kalhor will be a great event to strengthen this goal. The nights of Kalhor and Hacoupian were a gift to the durability of pure and noble Iranian art, whose language is nothing but a tribute to the glory of humanity. History will speak of this fact.
