ZSO’s Zubin Mehta Movie and Dinner Night

Khush Panthaky interviewing Mervon Mehta

The Zoroastrian Society of Ontario (ZSO) hosted an evening with Mervon Mehta — Zubin Mehta’s son — who brought Zubin’s new movie called, “Good Thoughts, Good Words, Good Deeds:  The Conductor Zubin Mehta” to be shown at the local Darbe Mehr.   The evening started off with Mervon giving us an introduction to the movie and saying a few words about how his father loves India and the Parsis, so much so that he has still kept his Indian passport.   The movie was shown and then we had Khush Panthaky, former TV journalist, interview Mervon and take questions from the audience.  This was followed by dinner, dessert and networking with Mervon.

 

Mervon is the Executive Director at the The Royal Conservatory and is bringing another Parsi conductor, Zane Dalal, from the National Symphony Orchestra of India, along with the famous tabla player, Zakir Hussain, to perform in Toronto on Jan. 24th, 2020. Mervon has also arranged for a group discount for the Zoroastrians!
The event was well attended by the local Zoroastrian community. The movie and talk was enjoyed by all.
