HOSSEIN ALIZADEH PEJMAN HADADI PRESS KIT About Monad The Art of Improvisation in Persian Classical Music Live in Concert HOSSEIN ALIZADEH PEJMAN HADADI PRESS KIT About Monad MONAD brings the collaborative affiliation of two exceptional contemporary masters of Per- sian classical music – the legendary tar and setar composer and performer Hossein Alizadeh, together with the world-renowned percussionist of tombak and daf, Pejman Hadadi. Both are highly adept in the radif repertoire - the collection of ancient Iranian melodic phrases preser- ved through many generations of oral tradition. Combined with their respective sensibilities from Western and other world music traditions, they produce a uniquely contemporary appro- ach to their traditional arrangements. Their deep and personal relationship of many years further augments the intimate and synchronous dialogue between the two and their instru- ments. Audience members, whether experienced or novice in the art of traditional Iranian music, are invited to surrender to the full experience of MONAD and its 'haal' - a term central to the art of improvisation in Persian music, which refers to being present to…fully immersed in…or even getting totally lost in the heart of the feeling and spirit of the performers. Being witness to the impressive quality of these highly accomplished masters leads those present on a mys- tical journey through some of the most distinguished artistry in the world. 2 3 4 Hossein Alizadeh 5 Hossein Alizadeh Hossein Alizadeh is one of Iran‘s leading classical composers and musicians and is considered one of the most important figures in contemporary Persian music today. The 2006 Grammy Nominee is oftentimes referred to as the Ravi Shankar of Iran. A virtuosic player of the Persi- an tar, Persian setar and Azeri tar, Alizadeh has continued to extend the musical traditions of classical Persian music, continuously pushing the boundaries of convention to bring a modern interpretation to an ancient tradition. Alizadeh earned a bachelor‘s degree in music composition and performance from the School of Music at the University of Tehran, and a graduate degree from the University of Fine Arts in Tehran. He has taught at the University of Tehran and the Tehran Music Conservatory. He was the conductor and soloist in the Iranian National Orchestra of Radio and Television, establis- hed the acclaimed Aref Ensemble, and worked with the Shayda Ensemble. His European experience began with the orchestra of the Bejart Ballet Company in Germa- ny. Later he studied composition and musicology at the University of Berlin. Alizadeh is the founding member of the Hamavayan Ensemble, started in 1989 to bring a new approach to classical Persian music. Composed of some of the best-known performers of Iranian 6 instruments and vocalists, this ensemble has produced many of Alizadeh‘s compositions including New Secret, Gabbeh, Songs of Compassion, Endless Vision, Ode to Flowers and Birthplace of Earth. Some of Alizadeh‘s most noted works are The Nava Improvisations (1976), Riders of the Plains of Hope (1977), Hesar (1977), Revolt (1983), Ney Nava (1983), Dream (1986), Tor- kaman (1986), Raz-O-Niaz (1986), Delshodegan (1987), Song of Compassion (1991), New Secret (1996), A Time for Drunken Horses (2000), Turtles can Fly (2004), Endless Vision (2004), Nive Mang (2006), Under the Razor (2007) and Ode to Flowers (2007). "Alizadeh is a player of extraordinary technique and passion, for sure, but more importantly a visionary with an eye toward the redefinition of classical Persian music."– LA WEEKLY "Alizadeh won a standing ovation from the audience simply for walking on." – DAVID HONIGMANN, THE LONDON TIMES 7 8 Pejman Hadadi 9 Pejman Hadadi Pejman Hadadi is world-renowned as one of the most innovative Iranian percussionists of the tombak and daf frame drum from Iran today. A two-time recipient of the prestigious Dur- fee Foundation Master Musician Award, he is the founder of Neyreez World Music Institute in Southern California. He began playing Tombak at the age of ten with master musicians Asadollah Hejazi and Bahman Rajabi. In 1989, he immigrated to the United States and began his professional career, performing and recording with ensembles of Persian classical music as well as Indian, Turkish and Ame- rican musicians. Pejman is known for his modern approach to the traditional tombak, which lies in his ability to produce melodic patterns within rhythmic structures as well as creating complex variations on the basic sounds of the instrument. He has been a member of the celebrated Dastan Ensemble for more than ten years and was one of the founding members of the highly acclaimed ZARBANG Ensemble. He has also written a number of compositions for dance, and has been the resident composer and percus- sionist with Banafsheh Sayyad and NAMAH since 1998. 10 He has recorded and performed with an impressive list of premier musicians including Hos- sein Alizadeh, Shahram Nazeri, Homayoun Shajarian, Parisa, Sima Bina, Salar Aghili, Ali Akbar Moradi, Ardeshir Kamkar, Nejati Celik, Halil Karadoumon, Yair Dalal and Imamyar Hasanov. Hadadi has toured extensively in North America, Canada, Europe, Iran and Japan, performing in multiple major international festivals and concert halls. Some of his recordings include Call To Love (2008), Monad (2008) Persian and Middle Eastern Percussion (2005), Golestan (2005), Gol-e Behesht (2005), Shurideh (2004), Rengineh (2004), Journey To Persia (2002), Whisper (2001), Midnight Sun (2000), Fire of Passion (1999), A Tale of Love (1999) and Th- rough Eternity (1997). "Hadadi was clearly a virtuoso, coaxing speech from his frame drum by tickling, teasing, tapping, palming, plucking, strumming, slapping, chopping, knuckling, and touching his drum in every conceivable way. The variety of timbres he achieved from playing a single drum was astounding, and the quickness with which his fingers whipped across the drum‘s head and scurried over its rim was staggering." - JEREMY SISKIND, DOOBEEDOOBEEDOO, NY 11 Discography Hossein Alizadeh Pedagogical Works Solo | Duets | Trio An Elementary Radif for the Tar and Setar Monad (Aan-o-Aan) (3rd Book) Dastgah-e Homayun An Instruction Manual For the Setar Chahargah and Bayat-e Tork Radif Navazi Nava Radif of Mirza Abdollah Soundtracks & Orchestral Ensemble Ney-Nava Shurangiz Delshodegane Avaz-e Bayat-e Tork, Dastgah-e Shur Gabbeh Raz-o-Niaz From Eons Ago Sheida and Aref Ensemble Film Music Faryad Turtles Can Fly Under the Cutting Blade World Music Records Half Moon (Nive Mang) Bi Hamegan Besar Shavad The Novel Mystry Books Faryad Ten Pieces for Tar Soroode-e-Mehr Elementary Radif for Tar and Setar (3rd Book) Ode to Flowers Buse-ha-ye Baran For more Info see: www.hosseinalizadeh.net Discography Pejman Hadadi Instrumental | Duets | Trio Solo Silent Journey, 2013 Clouds (Abr-haa), 2008, Tombak Solo One Day, 2013 In Sare Soda-ie 2013 Ensemble Mass Of Colors, 2012 Release (Rahaa-ie Dar AAb), 2008 Sound Of My Soul, 2012 Monad (Aan-O Aan), 2008 To The Memory Of Ostad Shahnazi, 2012 Call To Love (Baang-e-Mehr), 2008 From Stone Passage To Dawn, 2011 to Diamond (Az Sang Ta Almaas), 2007 In The Footprints Of Rumi, 2011 Sadee Naameh, On HozeyeHonari, 2007 If Like Birds And Angles, I could Fly…, 2011 Endless Ocean (Daryaa-ye Bi Paayaan), 2006 A Call Beneath The Ashes, 2010 Being in Love, 2010 Loolian, on Avay-e novin, 2006 Alast, 2010 Epiphany, on Rhythm Pulse, 2005 Naghmeye Khabgard, 2005 with Zarbang Ensemble Persian and Middle Eastern Percussion, 2005 In The Name Of TheRed Rose, 2009 | 2010 Golestan, on DU STORE VERDEN, 2005 Gheyzhak-e Koeli, on Del- Avaz Records, 2008 Gol-e Behesht, on Network Medien GMBH, 2005 Khorshide Arezoo, on Del- Avaz Records, 2008 Shurideh, on Network Medien GMBH, 2004 Rengineh, 2004 with ZARBANG For more Info see: www.pejmanhadadi.com 14 15 Press Hossein Alizadeh and Pejman Hadadi Live in Concert in New York Excerpt: Maestro Hossein Alizadeh, the Iranian Tar and Setar virtuoso, and Pejman Hadadi, one of the most innovative Iranian percussionists, will be in New York for a unique musical event. ...more OTHERMUSICS Hossein Alizadeh and Pejman Hadadi - Monad OTHERMUSICS Appreciation of Music From Other Worlds, March 18, 2011 Excerpt: Throughout Monad we can easily hear why Alizadeh is considered to be one of the foremost Setar players alive; his playing is consistently overwhelming, ranging from moments of intimate and profound subtlety to furious intensity.

  • Kayhan Kalhor/Erdal Erzincan the Wind
    ECM Kayhan Kalhor/Erdal Erzincan The Wind Kayhan Kalhor: kamancheh; Erdal Erzincan: baglama; Ulaş Özdemir: divan baglama ECM 1981 CD 6024 985 6354 (0) Release: September 26, 2006 After “The Rain”, his Grammy-nominated album with the group Ghazal, comes “The Wind”, a documentation of Kayhan Kalhor’s first encounter with Erdal Erzincan. It presents gripping music, airborne music indeed, pervasive, penetrating, propelled into new spaces by the relentless, searching energies of its protagonists. Yet it is also music firmly anchored in the folk and classical traditions of Persia and Turkey. Iranian kamancheh virtuoso Kalhor does not undertake his transcultural projects lightly. Ghazal, the Persian-Indian ‘synthesis’ group which he initiated with sitarist Shujaat Husain Khan followed some fifteen years of dialogue with North Indian musicians, in search of the right partner. “Because I come from a musical background which is widely based on improvisation, I really like to explore this element with players from different yet related traditions, to see what we can discover together. I’m testing the water – putting one foot to the left, so to speak, in Turkey. And one foot to the right, in India. I’m between them. Geographically, physically, musically. And I’m trying to understand our differences. What is the difference between Shujaat and Erdal? Which is the bigger gap? And where will this lead?” Kayhan began his association with Turkish baglama master Erdal Erzincan by making several research trips, in consecutive years, to Istanbul, collecting material, looking for pieces that he and Erdal might play together. He was accompanied on his journeys by musicologist/player Ulaş Özdemir who also served as translator and eventually took a supporting role in the Kalhor/Erzincan collaboration.

  • Women Musicians and Dancers in Post-Revolution Iran
    Negotiating a Position: Women Musicians and Dancers in Post-Revolution Iran Parmis Mozafari Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Leeds School of Music January 2011 The candidate confIrms that the work submitted is her own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. This copy has been supplied on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. 2011 The University of Leeds Parmis Mozafari Acknowledgment I would like to express my gratitude to ORSAS scholarship committee and the University of Leeds Tetly and Lupton funding committee for offering the financial support that enabled me to do this research. I would also like to thank my supervisors Professor Kevin Dawe and Dr Sita Popat for their constructive suggestions and patience. Abstract This research examines the changes in conditions of music and dance after the 1979 revolution in Iran. My focus is the restrictions imposed on women instrumentalists, dancers and singers and the ways that have confronted them. I study the social, religious, and political factors that cause restrictive attitudes towards female performers. I pay particular attention to changes in some specific musical genres and the attitudes of the government officials towards them in pre and post-revolution Iran. I have tried to demonstrate the emotional and professional effects of post-revolution boundaries on female musicians and dancers. Chapter one of this thesis is a historical overview of the position of female performers in pre-modern and contemporary Iran.

E-mail: [email protected] Received: December 23, 2015 Accepted: April 2, 2016 Online Published: April 27, 2016 doi:10.5539/jpl.v9n3p1 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/jpl.v9n3p1 Abstract Different factors were affecting the presence of women during the Pahlavi era. In new structures after the constitutional period and along with the absolute modernism of Pahlavi, discourses changes were made based on democracy, socialism, Shia resistance and autonomy, court to government and political figures to people. During this period the role of women was formed on the basis of their social position and in their gender approach it changed from a <class in itself> to a <class for self>. The consequences of social contexts led to witness more active presence of women during Pahlavi era compared with the past periods particularly in the visual arts arena; so that the history of the Tehran galleries from 1953-1978 which reflects their activities during that time confirms this fact. The purpose of the present essay is to analyze the social contexts which have attracted women from margin to the center and attending to them since no study

It is an open question whether Iranian music has changed as a direct result of the Revolution, or whether the music would have evolved similarly in any case. Before 1979, one could easily have separated Persian music into two distinct categories: art music and pop music. The strong censorship practiced before the Revolution required the music to be void of any political messages, and most of the time pop music was the form presented on The National Radio and Television of Iran. Broadcasts of traditional music performances usually ran no longer than 15 minutes. This restriction was established by the producers and had the effect of cramping the music and its form. One can compare traditional Persian music to the classical music of the West, which one should listen to from the beginning to the end with full attention. This form of Iranian music is based on improvisation and has a very inward quality.
