The clerical regime has canceled the concert by Tehran Symphony
Orchestra that was scheduled to play for the opening of the world wrestling
championship citing presence of women players in the band.
the art director of Tehran Symphony Orchestra told the
official ISNA news agency that the cancelation came only 15 minutes prior to
the start of the performance in Azadi Stadium and exactly as the band was
getting ready to go on the stage to perform the opening
ceremony. He said the
reason given to us was due to women musicians in the band.
