Mehr Group
After some years of teaching and performing music, I aimed performing with an independent group on October 7, 1992 in Tehran. Thus, I invited some of my artist friends and my students, and we commenced our rehearsals for the performance, while I was the composer and supervisor of the group. Then, I had to choose a name for this newly-born group; a name which could show the goals of the group, its ideals and identity. Just like the other times, before thinking I referred to my feelings; love, friendliness, affection, brightness, purity, and national Iranian identity were my main points for choosing a name.
Consequently, I chose the name Mehr, which is a noble Iranian name, meaning true affection, sincerity, friendship, and honesty; from that day, I have performed with this group name.
I hope Mehr group's procedure and music ever be for exalting this beautiful, eternal Persian name, in the way it deserves.
