About Amir Khusrow Balkhi Dehlavi Cultural & Artistic Foundation
Introduction
Art in its broadest sense and music in particular, is among the essential layers and foundational pillars of culture.
Art, as a whole, reveals and defines the essence of humanity and the boundless dimensions of the human soul. In truth, it is through art that human beings are understood and defined. One might say that art is a reflection of human nature, and all people are inherently artistic and lovers of art by creation. However, the expression of artistic talent does not manifest equally in every individual. This diversity, in turn, highlights the beauty and richness found in the many forms and dimensions of art.
Art also encompasses other significant forms, such as calligraphy, painting, architecture, sculpture, and especially the performing arts. Though the seed of art lies within the nature of every human being, its flourishing and full expression undoubtedly require education—and more profoundly, the cultivation of inner sensibility.
The Amir Khusrow Balkhi Dehlavi Cultural & Artistic Foundation is committed to striving ever more deeply in the path of purposeful and conscientious art.
