Doctoral Composition Recital

Dear colleagues, friends and family,

Narmina Afandiyeva, piano

Peter Stoll, B flat clarinet/bass clarinet

Alice Hong, violin

Sebastian Ostertag, cello

Alex McLeod, viola

Ross Au, electric guitar

Iranian-Canadian composer, Parisa Sabet, creates a sonic world that is rich, layered, lyrical, and accessible to listeners. Since 2015, she divides her time between full-time freelance composer at night, and full-time mother by day—a new lifestyle that informs the gift of breakthrough in her compositions. www.parisasabet.com
