Bio:
Behzad Ranjbaran was born in Tehran, Iran, on July 1, 1955. At the age of nine, Mr. Ranjbaran entered the Tehran Music Conservatory. In 1974, Mr. Ranjbaran moved to the United States, where he attended Indiana University. Later, Mr. Ranjbaran received his doctorate from the Juilliard School in New York, where he currently is a member of the faculty.
Mr. Ranjbaran’s music has been performed by distinguished soloists and ensembles throughout the world, such as his "Songs of Eternity" (2002) for soprano Renée Fleming, who sang the world premiere with the Seattle Symphony, under the direction of Gerard Schwarz.
In the summer of 2005, Ranjbaran was composer in residence for the 40th anniversary of the Saratoga Music Festival.
Recordings include Persian Trilogy on the Delos label by the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by JoAnn Falletta. This orchestral cycle, comprising the works Seven Passages, Seemorgh, and The Blood of Seyavash, takes its inspiration from ancient Persian legends, as recounted in the 11th century epic poem “Shahnameh” (The Book of Kings).
