Composition lessons by award winning contemporary international composer

Vahid Hosseini (1984 Tehran) is a composer and setar player. His compositions have been praised as “outsiders to the dilemma of the unavoidable mimetic nostalgias of the present time”, stemming from a “sense of clarity that proposes new solutions on how to survive a ground zero.” His primary concern in composition is the essence of sound and the particularities of human perception. He attempts to create a personal sound world through Persian music tradition in which he was formed and contemporary compositional achievements he has attained. He has studied composition with Salvatore Sciarrino, Gabriele Manca, Paolo Aralla, Tristan Murail (masterclass) Alessandro Solbiati, and Veli-Matti Puumala, at Bologna conservatory - graduating with top marks cum laude - Sibelius Academy Helsinki, Chigiana Academy Siena, and Verdi conservatory Milan. He was awarded third composition prize of Verdi conservatory of Milan in 2022, Premio Magone in 2020, and the absolute first prize of Premio Alberghini in 2019, Bologna.
