A recognized master of the vocal radif repertoire of Persian art
music, Maestro Nasrollah Nassehpoor, was born in Ardebil, Iran, 1940.
Since his father, the late Agha Shakour, was
garman (Azerbaijani organ similar to European accordion) player, he was acquainted with Azerbaijani music through his childhood.
When he moved to Tehran, he studied vocal radif with the late Maestro Mahmoud Karimi for many years. He also studied
instrumental radif repertoire of Persian art music at the National Music Institute with the late Maestro Ali Akbar Khan Shahnazi (A very skillful tar player).
In the class of the late Maestro Soleiman Amir Ghasemi (vocalist), he got in touch
with the late Maestro Saeed Hormozi (A very skillful setar player) and he learned many important points of Persian art music.
At last he worked with the great master of vocal radif repertoire, the late Maestro Abdollah Davami, who had a great influence on his musical development.
Maestro Nasehpoor's vocal's unique timbre, which has coupled
with his creative talent and rich Azerbaijani musical background, makes him an outstanding performer. He has researched, taught
and performed about 50 years and has nearly trained 4000 students that some of them are famous vocalists in Iran and abroad.
Recently as a member of the chief committee board for the biggest Iranian NGO of music, House of Music, he has been
socially very active in defending the rights of musicians and also promoting Persian classical music.
As a professor
of the Art University of Tehran, his books on old theoretical music of Persia are under publication.
