Dr. Mehran Tebyani,[1][2] an Iranian American, has made significant contributions to the world of music as a conductor, composer, pianist,[3]music educator, author, and lecturer. He is widely regarded as a pillar of contemporary Iranian composition, playing a pivotal role in introducing traditional Iranian compositional modes and motifs to Western audiences. Furthermore, Dr. Tebyani[2][1] has provided guidance and support to numerous Iranian musicians, aiding them in their development as instrumentalists, singers, and composers.

Educational Background

Dr. Tebyani[2][1][4]earned his Bachelor of Music (B.M.) in Classical Composition and Master of Music (M.M.) in Orchestral Conducting from California State University, Northridge.[5] He further advanced his education by obtaining a Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) in Organizational Leadership f[6]rom Pepperdine University.[7]

Background and Ensemble Building

Mehran, a dedicated creator of musical groups, established the Eshragh Chamber Orchestra and Chorus in Iran at 22. He took on the role of music director for this ensemble and guided them through numerous successful shows and tours for over five years. Remarkably, he managed to unite 95 musicians in Iran during a period when public performances and expressions faced significant restrictions.

In the following decade, he spearheaded the Music Department at the Baha'i Institute for Higher Education - BIHE in Iran. Starting in 2001, he held the positions of Music Department Chair and Music Instructor, where he offered courses in composition, operated a piano studio, and led the choir ensembles.

Continued Ensemble Building in California and Current Projects

After moving to Los Angeles in 2010, Dr. Tebyani established the Beverly Hills Conservatory and 2013 initiated the New Directions Composers' Symphony Orchestra and Double Choir at CSUN University. He is the Principal Music Director of the Beverly Hills Philharmonic Orchestra (BH Phil), an ensemble committed to enriching the diverse Los Angeles communities with broad and engaging musical experiences, including concerts, education, and outreach efforts. As a Music Director with a deep understanding of Western and Iranian classical music, Dr. Tebyani is highly sought after. He has been regularly engaged by various ensembles, leading performances of both his own compositions and others, including collaborations with the Astoria Symphony Orchestra (2016), Boulder Chamber Orchestra (2016), and the International Conducting Institute Orchestra (2016).

Holding a Doctor of Education in Organizational Leadership, Dr. Tebyani is also a coveted guest conductor and speaker. Drawing inspiration from Benjamin Zander and his book "The Art of Possibility," he aims to inspire every musician to fully invest in each performance. This approach has led to the success of the Beverly Hills Philharmonic, his flagship ensemble, which consistently receives high praise and sells out tickets well before performances, underlining the positive impact of his leadership and vision in the musical community.

Influence and characteristics as a composer

As a composer deeply rooted in contemporary Iranian music,[2][8]Dr. Tebyani[1] aims to encapsulate the essence of Iranian culture through his compositions, showcasing the creativity and innovation inherent to Iranian artistic expression. His choral works uniquely blend traditional Iranian folk singing with classical choral techniques, creating a distinctive musical language that harmonizes diverse cultural elements. Moreover, Dr. Tebyani[1][2]has played a critical role in formalizing Iranian musical motifs and scalar systems, incorporating these elements into his compositions. This effort is particularly significant considering the largely semi-improvisational nature of Iranian folk singing and performance. Dr. Tebyani's[2][1]dedication to documenting and systematizing this music has made it more accessible to Iranian audiences and the global music community.

Through his dual roles as a conductor and composer, Dr. Tebyani[1][2] has been instrumental in introducing Iranian musical genres and styles to classical music settings, bridging cultural gaps, and offering fresh perspectives to Western audiences unfamiliar with Iranian traditions. His pioneering work has enriched the classical music scene in Los Angeles and established him as a leading figure in promoting and interpreting Iranian music within classical frameworks. Dr. Tebyani's[1][2] contributions mark him as a trailblazer in the classical music community, highlighting his unique position as a composer, performer, and cultural ambassador.
