About Me: The music of Canadian-American composer Karim Al-Zand (b.1970) has been called “strong and startlingly lovely” (Boston Globe). His compositions are wide-ranging, from settings of classical Arabic poetry to scores for dance and pieces for young audiences. Al-Zand is the recipient of several national awards, including the Sackler Composition Prize, the ArtSong Prize and the Louisville Orchestra Competition Prize. He is currently on the faculty of the Shepherd School of Music (Rice University) in Houston and is a founding member and vice-president of Musiqa, Houston’s premiere contemporary music group.
