About Me

I am a multidisciplinary artist, composer, and educator. I studied at the Art University of Tehran and currently live in Manchester, where I am doing my PhD in music composition at the University of Manchester. I have also worked closely with performers, composers and conductors, with various commissions such as Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, Southbank Symphony Orchestra, Coma London, Symphony Verbum Orchestra, Bridges Orchestra (Frankfurt), the Migrant Voices residency programme by Olympias Music Foundation, the Psappha Composing for Sitar scheme, International Guitar Foundation (IGF), IFCA (Iranian female composers association), and University of Sussex. Recently, one of my pieces for string quartet, “Fear” was performed in Intimacy of Creativity in Hong Kong. Furthermore, I worked as the Associate composer in a non-classical composition scheme project. Also, the creative process of my composition was portrayed in the online edition of Audiograft – Oxford’s annual festival of experimental music and sound art. Besides that festival, the sketch and process of my piece “I am from nowhere” was released by Toward Sounds online exhibition and Deutschlandfunk radio in Berlin, Germany. Currently I am one of the Royal Philharmonic Society members and also a music teacher at Olympias Music Foundation and I also teach part-time at the University of Manchester. ​
