Iranian pianist Saman Ehteshami to perform at Tehran concert hall

According to The Iran Project,During the concert, they will be presenting pieces by Homayoun Khorram and Johann Sebastian Bach, as well as compositions by Ehteshami.

Homayoun Khorram (1930-2013) was a prominent Iranian musician, composer, and violinist. He started his musical journey at a young age, studying under master Abolhassan Saba before becoming a soloist in the State National Radio Orchestra.

Known for his exceptional talent, Khorram became a leading composer for National Radio at just 21 years old. Alongside his music career, he earned a master's degree in electrical engineering, seeing music and engineering as complementary disciplines rooted in mathematics.

Khorram's work on the radio show Golha included composing songs for renowned singers like Master Mohammadreza Shajarian, as well as numerous instrumental pieces. He collaborated with notable artists such as Javad Maroufi and Jalil Shahnaz, and later supported young talents like Mohammad Esfahani and Alireza Ghorbani.

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) was a German composer and musician widely regarded as one of the greatest composers in Western musical history. Born into a family of musicians, Bach's musical talents were evident from a young age. He began his career as a church organist and violinist, eventually holding prestigious positions in churches and courts throughout Germany. Bach's compositions are renowned for their complexity, technical skill, and profound emotional depth, making him a significant figure of the Baroque period.

Bach's musical legacy is vast and diverse, encompassing numerous works in various genres such as organ music, sacred choral works, concertos, and keyboard compositions. His compositions are characterized by intricate counterpoint, harmonic richness, and a deep sense of spirituality. Bach's mastery of form and structure, as well as his innovative use of musical techniques, have had a lasting influence on subsequent generations of composers and musicians. His works, such as the Brandenburg Concertos, the St. Matthew Passion, and the Well-Tempered Clavier, are considered masterpieces of the classical music repertoire.

Despite achieving modest recognition during his lifetime, Bach's music fell into obscurity after his death. It was not until the 19th century that his works were rediscovered and acknowledged for their profound artistic merit. Today, Bach's music is performed and celebrated worldwide, and he is revered as a musical genius whose compositions continue to inspire and captivate audiences across generations. Bach's enduring legacy as a composer of unparalleled skill and creativity has secured his place as one of the most significant figures in the history of classical music.
