Musical artist
Yitzhak Yedid (Hebrew: יצחק ידיד, born 29 September 1971) is an Israeli-Australian composer of contemporary classical music. He is also a pianist and an educator. [1][2][3]
The recipient of numerous awards, Yedid won the Azrieli Music Prize in 2021 for his work Kiddushim Ve’ Killulim, the Sidney Myer Creative Fellowship in 2019, and the Landau Prize for Performing Arts in 2009, among others.[4] He has been hailed as one of the most original composers on the international music scene today.[5][6] His compositional style has been characterized as "eclectic, multicultural, and deeply personal,"[7] blending elements of jazz and Jewish cantor music, classical European traditions, and avant-garde experimentation.[8]
Interdisciplinary and cross-cultural collaborations have been at the heart of his artistic practice.[9] Yedid's work is a reflection of his deep interest in Middle Eastern culture, ancient rituals, the aesthetics of classical and liturgical Arabic music, and non-Western music performance practices.[10][11]
