Homayoun Khorram

Homayoun Khorram (1930-2022) was a true legend of Iranian music. A master violinist, composer, and bandleader, he's considered one of the most influential figures in 20th-century Persian music. His incredibly beautiful and evocative melodies often blended traditional Persian modes with Western classical influences, creating a sound that was both deeply rooted in tradition and strikingly modern. He composed numerous pieces for radio, television, and film, and his collaborations with vocalists like Mohammad Reza Shajarian are considered classics. Many of his compositions, like "Sabokbal," "Delchesh," and "Eshghe Man," have become essential parts of the Iranian musical landscape and are still beloved today.

Khorram's music often evokes a sense of nostalgia and romantic longing, and his masterful violin playing is instantly recognizable.
