The group leader and composer Sharifian is also slated to perform a duet with a well-known Russian pianist in a concert titled I Have Brought You the Scent of Sea on June 28, 2014.
Prominent Iranian percussion player Farhad Safari will accompany the group in the performance.
Morvarid-e-Lian is known for its traditional and regional music pieces from the southern province of Bushehr.
The music of Bushehr is appealing because the province has always hosted people of different regions and nationalities, Sharifian had earlier said.

They also introduce the religious music of Bushehr, which is a trance ceremony that uses drumming and dancing.
