The Bam earthquake incident changed Mohammad Reza Shajarian's decision regarding not holding concerts in Iran. Previously, in the latest news from Mohammad Reza Shajarian, this great Iranian vocalist had announced that under the current conditions, he would never hold a concert in Iran again. The last time Shajarian intended to perform at the Ministry of Interior hall, officials cited urban traffic congestion in the streets surrounding the hall as an excuse and did not grant permission for the concert. This issue led Shajarian to announce that he would no longer hold concerts. However, it has now been reported that Mohammad Reza Shajarian, along with Hossein Alizadeh, Kayhan Kalhor, and Homayoun Shajarian, will hold a concert in the next two weeks to help the earthquake victims of Bam. According to the Iranian Cultural Heritage News Agency (Mirath News), this group is currently negotiating with the Ministry of Interior hall to determine the exact date of the concert. Based on this report, the group is independently organizing the concert, and so far, no organization or guild has collaborated with them.
