Hurray!
Welcome to my website! I am a composer, performer and music scholar based in Cambridge, MA. Whether composing music, film scoring, or performing on the Oud, I strive to create engaging and innovative works that combine contemporary composition and traditional musics of diverse origins. Please take a look around to learn more about my work.
Bio
I am a composer and performer with a diverse portfolio that includes music for piano, oud, violin, string quartet, and extended techniques for piano, as well as orchestral music. My film scores experience consists of two documentary films which promote important socila justice issues, aligning my work with my aspiration for my music to be relevant to our times.
In addition to my compositional work, I have also pursued academic studies in ethnomusicology, earning a Master's degree from Tufts University. My thesis focused on the interplay of text and music in Sephardic piyut in Israel, and this research has given me a deep understanding of the role cultural and historical context of music. I strive to bring this knowledge into my compositions, creating music that is informed by both my personal voice and the rich traditions of the past.
As a performer, I specialize in the oud, but I am also skilled in playing multiple instruments. I have studied with master musicians from around the world and have had the opportunity to perform in ensembles and teach oud to children. I am constantly seeking out new opportunities to explore and expand my musical horizons.
