“Night of Words and Melodies” held in Ardabil
Centered on the theme of “loneliness,” the ceremony featured several well-known figures from Iran’s cultural and artistic community, each offering their own unique perspective on interpreting and exploring this concept. At the opening of the event, the host used the symbol of the 52-hertz whale—known as the loneliest creature on Earth—accompanied by images and music, creating a deeply contemplative atmosphere in the hall.
One of the highlights of the night was a live performance by Parsa Khaef, who returned to the stage in Iran after a long break. His performance, accompanied by his instrument, was met with great enthusiasm from the audience.
Midway through the program, a video featuring children supported by the Mehr Leila Charity was shown, followed by the cutting of a celebratory cake—one of the most memorable moments of the ceremony. In a touching continuation of this segment, the event’s sponsor, Tanin Peyk Sabalan (Beta), announced that, as a birthday gift to Leila Boloukat, it would cover the costs of releasing three inmates imprisoned for unintentional financial offenses in Ardabil Province. The announcement sparked an emotional wave of applause among attendees.
Organized under the executive management of Mohammad Abdollahi, the event drew significant attention and received positive feedback across the province’s cultural circles, demonstrating Ardabil’s strong potential for hosting national cultural and artistic events.
