Career
Tahmoures' knowledge in the fields of Iranian tribal and traditional music, as well as western-style composition, has allowed him to create a new and original style – which is considered a great accomplishment in Eastern music. Along with his father Kaykhosro and his brother Sohrab, Tahmoures leads and directs the Shamss Ensemble – considered one of Iran's foremost musical groups. He plays all the major Iranian instruments, concentrating especially on the Tar, Setar, Tanboor, Barbat, and Daf – and has experimented with and composed for new instruments designed by Mohammad Reza Shajarian. Tahmoures continues to compose in the fields of mystical music, modern Iranian classical music, Kurdish music, symphonic orchestral music, and modern fusion. He also has extensive experience in the field of music recording. His cooperation with Homayoun Shajarian, the celebrated Iranian singer, has led to a best-selling album, ‘Beyond Any Form’, and the highest-grossing concert tour in the history of Iranian music, with a total audience of over 120,000. The album also features Sohrab Pournazeri on the Kamancheh, American composer David K. Garner, Indian Sitar virtuoso Shujaat Khan, Venezuelan flutist Pedro Eustache, and American blues guitarist Jimmy Johnson. He performed at NPR with Mohammadreza Shajarian and Sohrab Pournazeri. Tahmouras Pournazeri was about to perform the “Baz Amadam” concert, with Sahar Mohammadi Boroujerdi, which can be considered as a performance-concert, in July 2023 at Sa'adabad Complex in Tehran. The music of this performance was based on traditional Iranian music, tanbour music and contemporary Persian music, combined with classical and electronic music. And the story of each song was about to perform by a dance group named "Harkat". But the concert canceled because the Iranian government forbidden Tahmoures to perform with a female singer and a dance group contain female dancers. And he announced that he will not run the show without his female members. == Discography ==
