Regional & Traditional Music of Iran Oud, Theory of Iranian Music Workshop with Sirvan Manhoobi
As part of MAPP: Music of the Banned (Chapter Two) – Traditional and Sacred Music of the BannedDate: Saturday, April 6, 2019Time: 11:45pm doors, 12:00pm workshopVenue: Red Poppy Art HouseAdmission: FreeIran is an ancient country with diverse ethnicities. Each ethnicity of Iran has its specific culture and art and music. Music of Iran is sometimes studied as part of so-called Middle Eastern music. Main Iranian music divisions are classical Iranian music, which is referred to by native Iranians as “traditional music,” and folk music, regarded as “regional music.”
This workshop is about the diverse musicology of Iran. During the first part of the workshop, with a summary about regional music of Iran, Sirvan Manhoobi will talk about the specific instruments of different regions. The second part of the workshop will continue with the theory of classical Iranian music. The classical music of Iran consists of melody types developed through the country’s classical and medieval eras, such as the musical mode “dastgah.” The influence of dastgah is seen as the reservoir of authenticity from which other forms of musical genres derive melodically and performances are inspired.
About the Artist
Sirvan Manhoobi started his musical journey at age 13 taking tar/sehtar, studying with Keivan Saket and Behrooz Hemati. He chose oud as his primary instrument and attended classes with Arsalan Kamkar. Other masters he has studied under include Mohamadreza Lotfi (Radif Navazi-Iranian classical music repertoire), Mehran Rohani (principles and history of music), Siamak Jahangiri (improvisation and analysis of Radif). Upon taking workshops in improvisation with Hossein Alizadeh, Manhoobi was also introduced to the shoorangiz instrument. He was awarded Best Soloist in Iranian music festivals and collaborated with Ardeshir Kamkar. Manhoobi formed the Bamdad Music Ensemble, focusing on Kurdish and Iranian classical music. He is a MA graduate of archaeology from Tehran University and has worked with Bahram Bezaei as a composer and tar player for his most recent play, Tarabnameh, at Stanford. Manhoobi currently lives in San Jose, performing, composing, and teaching Iranian and Kurdish music.
