Biography

I’m Mahdi Norouzi, a music producer, art director, and designer of international cultural projects. I graduated from the Tehran Conservatory of Music, and in addition to my creative work, I also serve as a vocal training instructor.As the founder and CEO of the Safir Istgah Solh and the Istgah Orchestra, I’ve had the opportunity to lead cross-cultural collaborations that merge classical, jazz, and traditional music. These projects are rooted in a deep belief in music as a universal language—one that can foster dialogue, understanding, and cultural exchange.Over the years, my work has spanned live concerts, virtual productions, and international cultural events. My mission has always been to build artistic bridges between communities and to create platforms where diverse voices can be heard and celebrated.
