Iranian singer and educator, Mahsa Vahdat, with the third episode of her three part series on Iranian - or Persian - Classical Music. In this episode she explores the music created after 1979 and the Islamic Revolution, and how against restrictions and bans, musicians were still able to write and perform. Mahsa shares her memories of this time, of attending her first public concert, and how women musicians responded by giving private concerts in their homes and - where possible - performing overseas. We hear from some of the younger musicians performing today in Iran, such as oud player Yasamin Shahhosseini, and Mahsa ends with a performance by her and her sister of a song called 'Daram Omidi', or 'Twinklings of Hope'.
