Nader Shirani Bidabadi

I am Nader Shirani Bidabadi, an Iranian composer, arranger, and traditional instrumentalist with more than 30 years of professional experience in Persian classical, folk, and orchestral music. Over my career, I have created 1,473 works (vocal and instrumental), and I’m known for blending Persian modal systems with Western harmony and orchestration. I also work across multiple arts—poetry, metal engraving (copper, silver, gold), wood carving, instrument building, and creative education.

Since 2005, I have taught Persian literature and poetry recitation, helping students connect deeply with Persian texts and performance. My musical output includes officially released albums such as “Araz” and “Yadegar-e Sarfarazi,” along with additional unreleased projects due to restrictions, and collaborations with prominent Iranian artists and composers. I continue performing and creating, including musical direction for theatrical performances, while contributing to both the music and literary communities.
