Ostad Manoochehr Sadeghi
Born in Tehran,
Iran, the santur
master Ostad Manoochehr Sadeghi is a leading
virtuoso on the santur
(Persian Hammered Dulcimer) with forty-five years of professional experience
both in his native Iran
and in the United States
of America. He began studying at a young
age, becoming a prized pupil of Abol Hassan Saba, a legendary figure in Persian classical music. In
1956 he was chosen by Saba to participate in his orchestra, the first
Orchestra of the State Fine Arts Department of Iran, where he continued as a
soloist for many years. As a member of this orchestra and other ensembles
sponsored by the Iranian Government he has performed on Tehran radio and
television, concertized widely and given command
performances for visits of various foreign dignitaries and heads of state
from India, Pakistan, Turkey, Denmark, Great Britain, The Netherlands and
America. At the same time he was engaged in teaching at the Conservatory of
Persian National Music in Tehran.
When he left his home country for the United States in 1964, Iranian
television produced a farewell special dedicated to him.
Santur.com
features a complete historical background & technical science of Persian
Music, with detailed educational information about the Santur and all the

studying, performing or producing music about this educational website.
