Renowned Greek pianist and composer Yanni, a naturalised US citizen, will put on shows in the capital and on the southern island of Kish in the coming months, according to an official from Iran's Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance. In October, the Grammy award-winning Japanese musician Kitaro held a concert in Tehran. "We are keen to see such bands play music in our country. The recent performance by Kitaro showed that we have good audience," the ministry's music department director Piruz Arjomand is quoted as saying by Fars News Agency
