Afshar, who was the first woman in the world to receive a doctorate in classical guitar, died on Tuesday, October 24, 2023.
She served as a professor in the Music Department at the University of Memphis. Afshar was selected as one of 12 international guitarists to study under the legendary Andres Segovia at the University of Southern California.
Segovia once predicted on NBC evening news that Afshar would achieve fame as a musician, a prophecy she fulfilled with grace and dedication.
The funeral procession for Afshar is scheduled for today (Wednesday) in Tonekabon, a city in Iran’s northern Mazandaran province.
