Ahmad Ebadi

Ahmad Ebadi

Ahmad Ebadi, (1906 – March 8 , 1993) was an Iranian musician and setar player. Born in Tehran, he was a member of the most extraordinary family of Iranian music. Ahmad's father, Mirza Abdollah, is arguably the most influential figure in traditional persian music, and his uncle, Mirza Hossein Gholi, is also well-known for his mastery in playing tar. Ahmad's grandfather, Ali Akbar Farahani, was also a talented musician.

Ahmad started learning music at early age. At the age of seven, he was able to play Tombak to accompany his father. Unfortunately he lost his father soon, but continued his education with his sisters especially Moloud Khanom. He became one of the best setar players of all time. For years he played on Iranian radio especially in a program called Golha, produced by Davood Pirnia. Ebadi had a unique style in playing setar. He also invented a variety of different tunings for setar.

He passed away in 1993 and is buried in Emamzadeh Taher cemetery in karaj.
