Hamāvāyān Ensemble (Persian: همآوایان) is a Persian music group.
Led by Iranian instrumentalist and composer Hossein Alizadeh, the Hamavayan Ensemble performs new interpretations of classical Persian music. The ensemble features male and female vocalists, tar and setar (ancient plucked lutes from Persia), and percussion.
Maestro Alizadeh's most recent recording, Endless Vision, featuring the Hamavayan Ensemble with the Armenian duduk player Djivan Gasparyan, was nominated for a Grammy.
