"My first response upon hearing Lotfi’s music is astonishment. As he plays he opens a path and finally a road to that place inside us of enormous assurance; such assurance paradoxically often brings tears to the eyes."

Teaching in Orange County and L.A. since 2002, Mehrdad A'raabi (an accomplished kamancheh and tombak player) has run the school and created an ensemble from their best students over the last two years. Neyreez Ensemble today consists of 10 players of diverse backgrounds: kids, women, men, Persians, Armenians, and Americans playing 2 kamanchehs, 3 tombaks, 1 santur, 1 tar, 1 daf, and 1 percussion. Listeners will enjoy nicely-arranged lively Persian folk music (Bakhtiari, Khorasani, Kurdish).
