I am attaching two links on a recent article about a couple of my new orchestral works in the Juilliard Journal in New York for your information. These works have been premiered with Seattle Symphony in the US, and Royal Liverpool Philharmonic in England. The text of the first work, Songs of Eternity, is based on the poetry of Omar Khayyam. The second work is a violin concerto that is inspired by the Persian instrument, Kamancheh.
