At the age of twelve he started playing the ney and learning its playing techniques with Mehdi Navai. Later he learned the basies and fundamentals of music and playing on instruments with Abolhassan Saba.
Hassan was fifteen when he performed his first programe on Radio Iran. Due to his innate genious and sustained efforts he became able to fully revolutionize playing on this plain and simple instrument and gave it an unimaginable capacity. In 1950 he took the ney to the orchestra and gave it a lofty place among other Iranian and non Iranian instruments.
Hassan Kassai's compositions and performances are some of the most outstanding tunes and melodies of Iranian music, and undoubtedly he should be considered as the most distinguished ney player of the contemporary world. His world wide fame increased with the circulation of a gramophone disc by C.B.S. in France in 1975 and the publications of some of his performances by Unesco. But because of the unappreciation of musicians and anti-music tendencies ,Kassai was pushed to silence in the golden years of his life, and so he chose solitude.
He, whose art enjoys a spiritual and popular status, broke his heavy and philosophical silence from 1999 and created ever lasting works for the people of his land, Iran.
Now let’s read the opinions of some prominent musicians about him and his works.
Benny Carter (the king of jazz music):
I never imagined that the musical techniques had advanced so much in the East and such a great player existed in this part of the world. (Kayhan Newspaper, 1975).
Habil Aliev (the skillful kamancheh player):
Maestro Hassan Kassai is the one person who has fascinated every listener by his art and has established eastern music all over the world. (1992).
Ray Coder (the famous American guitarist and composer):
If there were only a few praiseworthy and creditable music players in the world Kassai is certainly one of these few. (Washington Iranian's Newspaper, 1997).

As persecutions of the Jewish population increased in July 1942, the family went into hiding in some concealed rooms behind a bookcase in the building where Anne's father worked. From then until the family's arrest by the Gestapo in August 1944, Anne kept a diary she had received as a birthday present, and wrote in it regularly. Following their arrest, the Franks were transported to concentration camps. Frank's father, Otto, the only survivor of the family, returned to Amsterdam after the war to find that her diary had been saved by one of the helpers, Miep Gies, and his efforts led to its publication in 1947. It was translated from its original Dutch version and first published in English in 1952 as The Diary of a Young Girl, and has since been translated into over 60 languages.
