Malek Jandali is “a uniquely gifted composer” (The Washington Post) and “a major new addition to the 21st century’s symphonic literature” (Fanfare magazine). His “deeply enigmatic” music (Gramophone) with “heart-rending melodies, lush orchestration, clever transitions and creative textures” (American Record Guide) spans a broad body of work that includes eight symphonies, seven concertos, four string quartets, and his upcoming full opera, The Square. His “inspiring and thought-provoking music further expands classical music” (NPR) and his large-scale orchestral works engage major philosophical themes that integrate Arabic maqams (modes) with persuasive craft and a marked seriousness of purpose that echo UNESCO’s call to preserve and protect the rich cultural heritage of his homeland Syria.
