Saad Haddad (b. 1992) is a composer that 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.
Recent commissions include an orchestral work for the LA Philharmonic; a wind quintet for the Imani Winds; and a piano concerto for IRCAM and the Orchestre national d’Île-de-France.
Dr. Haddad holds degrees from Columbia, Juilliard, and the University of Southern California. He lives in New Jersey with his wife and their two dogs, Ivy and Kala. saadnhaddad.com
