Life & work

Early life and jazz

Soleimanipour was born in Tehran in 1968–69. He learned piano as a teenager, then taught himself guitar. While studying painting at the University of Tehran, he began studying flute.1

In the early 1990s, he began working professionally as a graphic designer and taught himself saxophone. He started performing professionally in 1994–95 and, that same year, formed a quartet with three other musicians to explore jazz through its repertoire.1

His own compositions

For the 2002 album Qeshm Island, Soleimanipour joined several other composers in interpreting the island's music, culture and natural surroundings.2 In 2005–06, he formed the Peter Soleimanipour Ensemble to perform his compositions.1

Later performances

At Tehran's Niavaran Cultural Centre in January 2015, Soleimanipour performed with his own group and in a duo with Shahram Gholami.3 He said that the group's repertoire brought together compositions from the early 1990s that he had not previously had the chance to perform and newer pieces in a similar vein.3 With Gholami, he combined composed and improvised music, including pieces by both musicians. They also used computers and electronic tools in the performance.3

Soleimanipour died in 2018, aged fifty.1
