== Biography ==
She got engaged in teaching at Girls’ Music School and also in some music institutes in Iran. She also collaborated with some Iranian composers and started recording her songs.<ref>{{cite news |title=baharmovahed.com |url=http://www.baharmovahed.com/biography-en.html}}</ref> In 2010, Bahar moved to the United States.<ref>{{cite web |title=Drliliortho |url=https://www.drliliortho.com/meet-dr-bahar-movahed}}</ref>
Bahar was born in Tehran, Iran on March 27, 1979. She was raised in an environment which harmonized art and science; her father is a nationally recognized surgeon and her mother is a well-known artist in Iran.<ref>[http://www.minamokhtarzadeh.art/ www.minamokhtarzadeh.art]</ref> Bahar started learning music as a young child first on the piano. Later on, she learned how to play the [[tanbour]] through lessons with Maestro Seyed Amrollah Shah Ebrahimi. She quickly developed an interest for Kurdish lyrics and classical Persian vocal radifs. Simultaneously she learned to play Tar with Keyvan Saket and Mohamad Reza Ebrahimi and began intense vocal training in 1998 with the acclaimed classical Iranian singer Mrs. Parissa. During this period, Bahar was a dedicated dental student and went on to earn her DDS degree in Iran in 2003 from Tehran Azad School of Dentistry. While practicing as a dentist, she continued studying vocals with renowned Iranian vocalists Shahram Nazeri and Hamid Reza Noorbakhsh, and eventually the legendary Mohammad-Reza Shajarian. In her free time, she taught at a number of music institutes and recorded her own music before she left Iran.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.baharmovahed.com/ |title=Home |website=baharmovahed.com}}</ref>
In 2010, Bahar immigrated to the United States to further education and pursue professional opportunities. Since women in Iran are only allowed to perform and produce music as "co-singing" vocalists to mask their own voice, Bahar was eager to present her art in the U.S. as a solo vocalist. In 2012, she released her debut album in collaboration with Maestro Ali Akbar Moradi, a well-known Iranian-Kurdish tanbour virtuoso. The album ''Goblet of Eternal Light'' was published by Traditional Crossroads and U.S. media deemed it "one of the most hauntingly beautiful albums of the year in any style of music". To date, Bahar has held multiple sold-out concerts across the US.<ref>{{cite web |title=New York Music Daily |date=3 July 2012|url=https://newyorkmusicdaily.wordpress.com/2012/07/03/bahar/}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Wordpress |date=18 April 2013|url=https://newyorkmusicdaily.wordpress.com/2013/04/18/baharmovahed/}}</ref><ref name="lucidculture-2013-04-05">{{cite web |title=Lucid Culture |date=5 April 2013|url=https://lucidculture.wordpress.com/2013/04/05/bahar/}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Traditional Crossroads |url=https://www.mcssl.com/store/traditionalcrossroads/georgia/digital-audiophile-series/4345-bahar-movahed-and-ali-akbar-moradi---goblet-of-eternal-light}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=New York Music Daily |date=18 April 2013|url=https://newyorkmusicdaily.wordpress.com/2013/04/18/baharmovahed/}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Events |url=https://events.kodoom.com/en/berkeley-ca/bahar-movahed-ali-samadpour-a-restoration-of-the-persian-traditional-music/65677/e/}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Town Hall Seattle |url=https://townhallseattle.org/event/moonrise-ensemble/}}</ref><ref name="bahar_concerts">{{cite web |title=baharmovahed.com |url=http://www.baharmovahed.com/concerts-en.html |access-date=2018-12-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190504203512/http://www.baharmovahed.com/concerts-en.html |archive-date=2019-05-04 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
