Dr. Mehran Tebyani
Dr. Tebyani has had the high honor and good fortune of studying under the Piano Maestro Javad Maroufi. As a child in Iran, he showed a great love for composition and conducting. His career as an adult has demonstrated a passion for combining Iranian traditional music with classical music structures and performance traditions.
He began his music studies with Maestro Mehran Rouhani. Eventually, his education led him to Professor Alireza Mashayekhi, professor of composition at the University of Tehran and principal conductor of the Iranian orchestra for new music.
His distinguished music mentors during his freelance studies at the University of Tehran included Mr. Mustafa Kamal Pourtorab, Mr. Sharif Lotfi, as well as his private instructor, Professor Mashayekhi. Also, he has completed a conducting master class at Tehran University under the tutelage of the great professor Edo Micic, guest conductor of the Tehran Symphony Orchestra.
During this period, he extensively researched the rich tradition of Iranian music, with a special emphasis on the intricate subtleties of Iranian singing.
