Hossein Alizadeh

Hoseyn Alizâdeh was born in 1951 in Tehran. He studied in the Tehran Music Conservatory as a child and was spotted by Ali-Akbar Shahnâzi as a brilliant student. Then he studied with Yusef Forutan, Abdollâh Davâmi, Sa'id Hormozi, Hushang Zarif, Habibollâh Sâlehi and Mahmud Karimi and graduated from the College of Fine Arts in Tehran University. He began his career in 1968 by playing in Rudaki Orchestra directed by Hoseyn Dehlavi. In 1970 he gave concerts in the famous Center for Preservation and Propagation of Music under Nur-Ali Borumand. Some of his works were performed and recorded in 1970s in radio programs followed by a period of collaboration with the Ensemble Sheydâ, then founding the Ensemble Âref. His activities were always in favor of Iranian music. He has exerted a deep influence on understanding Persian classical music among younger generation. He has introduced new theories and reforms in both improvisation technique and composition. He has founded a new school of his own and has now many followers who, in turn, transmit these improvements.

He is one of the founders of Châvush Institute of Music and in late 1970 by composing numerous memorable hymns he made clear that innovative aspects of Iranian music are actually countless. After the revolution he resided in Europe for a while to study music and again from 1988 he started his career by giving a triumphant concert titled as "Shurangiz" (i.e. Tumult-exciting) which deeply influenced the taste of music-lovers. Alizâdeh's released oeuvres include Ney-Navâ, Torkaman, Râz-o-Niâz, Sobhgâhi, Âvâ-ye Mehr, Hamnavâyi, Homâyun and Râz-e No and he has also composed film music for Delshodegân, Gabbeh, From the Eons Ago, Iran is My Home and A Time for the Drunkenness of Horses. He has taught in the College of Fine Arts, the "Center", Châvush Institute and contributed in the art of târ and setâr instructing methods by publishing four volumes titled Ten Pieces for Târ. His influence on the players is truly undeniable. Of his latest published works are Setâr Teaching Methodology (Elementary) and Târ and Setâr Teaching Methodology (Intermediate).
