Biography

Alireza Mortazavi, born in 17 September 1976 in Esfahan, Iran, is a contemporary composer and Santoor player with a unique and personal style. He spent about 12 years learning and performing Iranian traditional music and in his teenage years he has received several rewards, which show his great expertise in the traditional Iranian repertoire. Contacts with other music genres, especially western music, allowed him to form his own personal, more contemporary style. He studied Musicology in Cremona, Italy, from 2001 to 2003. In the same period, he began playing concerts around Europe. He participated in notable events, such as shows of the Bayern Radio-Television and also contributed in many festivals including "Progetto Jazz" in Cremona and the Rudolstadt Festival in Germany. In 2003 he went back to Iran and continued his artistic activities, evolving his personal style. In 2012 he moved to Turin, Italy, and began his research work in music and started his education at the faculty of Arts, Music and Performance (DAMS). In this period, he performed and was interviewed in numerous radio programs in Italy, Germany and Switzerland, and toured around Europe for several concerts.
