The Legacy of Hormoz Farhat

Hormoz Farhat—composer, ethnomusicologist, and educator—was a pioneering figure in the academic field of Iranian music. In 1959, he founded The Music of Persia Performance Group, the first university-based ensemble dedicated to Persian music, and later became the first Iranian scholar to lecture on Iranian music at UCLA. On December 12, 2025, the Gramian-Emrani Center for Iranian Music held a conference honoring Farhat's legacy at Lani Hall at The UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music. The event was made possible by generous support from the Farhang Foundation. The event featured a brief lecture by Dr. Shahab Paranj on The Concept of Dastgāh, followed by a conversation with Dr. Robert Garfias, one of Farhat’s longtime colleagues at UCLA, offering personal and scholarly reflections on Farhat’s life, work, and influence.
