Additional Description:

Directed by Hesam Abedini, From Isfahan to Irvine focuses on the life and work of Hossein Omoumi, one of the masters of Persian classical music as well as a teacher of that field. The documentary takes viewers from Isfahan, where Omoumi learned and mastered Persian classical music, to Europe and the United States, where Omoumi continues to perform and teach.
