The concert and commendation ceremony took place on Sunday, 21 October 2018 at the Sony Center.

The commendation statement read: “We would like to thank you for sharing your legendary talent and artistic skills with the people of Toronto. You have many supporters here.”

Shahram Nazeri thanked their audience for attending the “Untold” concert, and said: “We are very grateful to see you all here despite all the long distances you have had to travel.”

“Untold” composer, Hafez Nazeri also thanked their fans, saying: “In this concert, we intended to change the prevailing audio culture. We could have performed nostalgic pieces from the past; but instead, we chose a difficult piece for your young generation to connect to the world through music.”
