Saad Haddad

Saad Haddad is a composer of orchestral, chamber, vocal, and
electroacoustic music who achieves a “remarkable fusion of
idioms” (New York Times), most notably in his work exploring the
disparate qualities inherent in Western art music and Middle
Eastern musical tradition


His music delves into that relationship by transferring the
performance techniques of traditional Arabic instruments to
Western symphonic instruments, while extending their capabilities
through the advancement of technology.


Host Lisa Dell talks with Haddad about his music and recent
projects.
