He is credited for stimulating an interest in classical Iranian music among the country’s younger generations. In 2000, Nazeri went on tour in Iran with a group called the Rumi Ensemble. They held a series of landmark concerts in twenty cities in the country, and introduced Iranian youth to the classical musical genre.
In recent years he has performed with his son, Hafez Nazeri, an acclaimed musician in his own right, and has delighted sold-out audiences around the world, including “The Path of Rumi” tour in North America in 2005–2006.
