About Hafez Nazeri

Hafez Nazeri is an Iranian singer, musician and composer of traditional Persian music. Hafez, of Kurdish descent, spreads Rumi’s spiritual message of peace through music. He is the son of the also successful Kurdish Iranian musician, Shahram Nazeri.

Nazeri released Rumi Symphony Project: Untold, a chart-topping album featuring 42 Grammy Award-winning musicians. The result of over 5000 hours of recording studio work, Untold is an attempt to represent the splendor of all creation. Steeped in both the improvisatory tradition of his native Iran and Western classical music’s rich harmonic structures, Nazeri takes a boundary-crossing approach, balancing the two and forging a “new sonic universe” altogether.
