About

I am an Egyptian-Austrian composer and professor of composition with international teaching experience across Europe and the Middle East. I specialize in instrumental and electronic composition, intercultural music practice, and advanced music theory from Renaissance to contemporary repertoire. I am also an active curriculum contributor, festival organizer, and mentor for emerging composers, with works performed by major ensembles including the BBC Symphony Orchestra, London Sinfonietta, Ensemble Resonanz, and the Bruckner Orchester Linz. My career spans academia, international collaborations, and creative leadership in contemporary music initiatives across Europe and the Middle East.
