ÌýÌýListen (1'35) to Gholam Reza Soulimany talk about his music.
'...setar is a timid instrument. Its voice cannot be heard well out of doors, so I prefer indoor venues...'
How I came to this music:
When I was a child, growing up in Shiraz, Iran, someone used to come to our house and give us music lessons. My mother and father did not want me to learn the setar but I loved playing it so that is what I learned. They never played music themselves, only my younger brother shared my passion. I taught him to play the sitar too. I play similar music now to that which I used to play back home in Iran.
 In Iran I played in concerts at the university of Shiraz where I was studying. There could be up to 3000 at a concert and I used to play with all the singers too. I loved that. I also used to play with Khashkhi, a traditional Persian band with up to ten people playing live at any given time. I did solos on the setar and there was often singing as well.
