TEHRAN- Renowned Iranian vocalist Alireza Ghorbani is set to give a concert at the prestigious Dubai Opera on June 7.

The concert, organized by Raaz Moon Events, will feature a collection of Ghorbani's most popular songs from recent years, Mehr reported on Tuesday.

The concert will feature a blend of traditional Persian melodies and soulful vocals, showcasing Ghorbani's unique style. The performance will also feature the renowned Dubai’s "Ferdows" orchestra, known for their exceptional musical expertise.

Following his successful performance in Tehran during Iranian new year in March, Ghorbani has gone on to perform in Berlin, Gothenburg, and Milan, cementing his reputation as a global music sensation. 

With over 150 concerts in the past year alone and over 300,000 tickets sold, Ghorbani has become a cultural icon in the music industry.

Recognized as one of the most active traditional contemporary singers of Iran, Ghorbani started his vocal lessons at the age of 12 and became a solo vocalist of the National Orchestra of Iran at 27. Three years later, he became a foreground singer of Persian song, having mastered the numerous scales of Middle Eastern music. Flawlessly controlling the rarest vocal techniques in singing, his very ramified repertory constitutes the radif (non- rhythmic) and the tasnif (rhythmic) techniques.
