about
Amin Ebrahimi is an Iranian composer born in 1985 in Amol (Iran). He started playing the clarinet in his early years, which led to a career as a professional instrumentalist. He studied art music at the Iran International Music Studies, obtained a bachelor’s degree at the Art University of Teheran, before joining the Elementary Music Pedagogy Music Academy in Wiesbaden, where he now lives. During his training he also became a saxophonist, pianist, composer and conductor.
Amin Ebrahimi’s musical identity is an elegant synthesis of post-romantic western tonal music and oriental colours, consisting of distant modes, seminal harmonies and hectic, jerky patterns. His music is part of a universal and timeless sensibility that rehabilitates the age-old Indo-European musical traditions.

Miniatures of the green season
By taking on Habib Sharifi's poem "The Green Season", I was able to place my creative approach in the romantic tradition of "programme music". In this way, I fused my musical identity into this vast and exciting picture, reconnecting with my Persian roots.
This residency was a great human experience. I met beautiful people and a new culture. These environmental conditions played a definite role in stimulating my creativity, my inspiration, and allowed me to explore new horizons, to serenely tackle the conception of new scores on which I had a lot of pleasure to work.
In addition to feeling free and fulfilled, I found it very beneficial to be able to discuss the miniatures with the musicians (Rebecca Chaillot and Anousha Nazari) during the creative process. This helped to perfect the final result considerably.
It was a wonderful opportunity to combine my knowledge of Western art music with Eastern rhythmic and harmonic colours. I have conceived a triptych in which I express the intimate relationship I had with the world of Habib Sharifi, whose life was marked by the heartbreak of exile, and to whom, in a certain way, I feel close.
