        "bio" : "Kourosh Zolani was born in a small village in Iran. He does not come from a background that encouraged him to become a musician; indeed, he comes from a small town where music is not a part of everyday life and is, in general, considered taboo.\n\nKourosh has received numerous awards for his performances and compositions.\n\nHe is the first musician to perform on the Chromatic Santour with a symphony orchestra, performing his original scores at venues such as the Kennedy Center in Washington DC and in the Roman city of Jerash in Jordan.\n\nKourosh invented a new method of tuning the Santour that revolutionized the ancient instrument by transforming it from an exclusively diatonic instrument to a chromatic one - in essence, allowing the Santour to participate in more complex music. Finally, Kourosh evolved his invention to the new levels designing a family of Chromatic Santours, which further expand the instrument's realms of timbre and range.",
