Mohammadreza Darvishi was born in 1955, in Shiraz. In 1979, he graduated from the University of Tehran with honors in composition. Darvishi has taught at several universities in Iran and given many lectures all around the world. He has travelled to Iran's cities and villages for about 30 years in search for the lost roots of Iranian regional music. The fruit of this endeavor is “The encyclopedia of Iranian Musical Instruments” that received SEM’s (Society for Ethnomusicology) award for the best publication of the year on musical instruments, granted by Bruno Nettl (2002) and several other books and CDs.

Another aspect of Darvishi's work in his quest of the lost roots of Iranian music and his search for the surviving compositions of Abdolqader Maraqi, the Iranian composer of the 14th century. Establishing the music ensemble of “Abdolqader Maraqi” about 10 years ago, Darvishi performed and published the works of the great composer.

Apart from his vast research in the field of Iranian music and culture, Darvishi has composed a large number of pieces that have been performed by different orchestras and ensembles in Belgium, Iran, Ukraine, Russia and many other countries.

Due to unavoidable technical complications, in October 2015 we created this new YouTube channel, Stanford Iranian Studies Program to replace the old StanfordISP channel. All of our videos have been added to this channel and we will continue uploading our new content here. While we were saddened to lose the significant number of views our videos collected on our old channel, we hope you will continue to follow along with us, subscribe to this channel, and share with friends and family. Thank you for your continued support of our program and interest in Iranian Studies.
