Music has been my lif'e passion for as long as I remember, and I am delighted to share my music with you through my albums, concerts and this site. Here you will find information about my career as a composer and performer, which includes score and audio excerpts of my work, as well as information about upcoming performances. I have been composing for years, and lately, I have been greatly inspired by the folk and ancient music of Syria. Since its inception in our great land, music has become a cultural phenomenon; it is something people relate to on emotional, instinctive, intellectual and many other levels. It has affected me greatly as well; and instilled in me a desire to unite the primal and the contemporary to create music that tugs at the heart and mind. Thus the birth of my new album, "Echoes from Ugarit". My primary goal is to write music that helps "tell the story", providing the emotional support for visual images. When you listen to my music, close your eyes and imagine. Image a world that once was and what it has now become. In my opinion, the best scores are felt as much or more than they are heard. Currently, I just came back from my tour to the Middle East and Europe to debut my new album, "Echoes from Ugarit". This tour will be followed by a North American tour, with concerts in Chicago, Washington D.C., Atlanta and others. Keep checking the site for tour dates and cities. Whether you are new, just exploring or returning for more, I hope you discover something real and inspiring here. I also hope that you will contribute your thoughts and share your ideas with me. Thanks for visiting!
