about
Nasser Cheshmazar (ناصر چشمآذر, Ardabil, Iran, 1950 - 2018) was an Iranian composer and musician. Born in the northwestern city of Ardabil, he began learning music from his father Ismail and picked accordion as his first instrument. Cheshmazar was considered one of the most acclaimed faces in the world of music and a pioneer in combining Iranian music with western electric instruments. The composer leaves behind a trail of much-touted film music, which snatched him two Golden Simorgh accolades in Iran’s iconic Fajr Film Festival. He composed 22 film scores during his lifetime. He was also awarded with the top prize for his score for the “Estranged Sisters” movie at the Malaysian Film Festival 15 years ago. His most memorable scores include “Rain of Love,” “Rising,” “Sleep,” “Awaiting,” “Freedom,” “Rain of Happiness,” “Tehran’s Nights,” “Tehran’s Blossoms,” and “Dawn of Love.” Nasser Cheshmazar died on May 4, 2018.
