Alireza Mortazavi

Alireza Mortazavi was born in Isfahan, Iran in 1976. His childhood was dedicated to mastering the Santur, a traditional Iranian instrument. His talent was recognised from an early age and he was awarded prizes at important national music festivals. Later, he went beyond the given boundaries of his own musical tradition, a tradition where even interpretations are played according to rigorous rules. Mortazavi says: „ I have attained the innermost source of my music; it's waves are a reflection of my life.
