Where I Play:

In Persian music, the conductor does everything - he tells us which notes to play and sing. He writes and arranges everything. Unfortunately I haven't an orchestra in Leicester. It's just me singing so I don't get to perform in the traditional way. I also don't have a conductor. I sing with a folk singer, Sheila Mosley in Leicester. But I hope one day somebody will come and perform with me.
