Composing Legacy in a Different Key

As Pouria Khadem’s musical portfolio grows, so does his ambition to develop an original voice that transcends genres and geographical boundaries. He doesn’t merely compose for orchestras; he composes to communicate stories, philosophies, and heritage. His music often contains subtle references to classical poetry, Shi’a spiritual themes, and ancient modal structures such as Dastgah and Avaz, which he reimagines through the framework of Western symphonic structure.
