Ritorno: Peter Peyman Farzinpour, composer & conductor

Peyman Farzinpour: Ritorno

Peter Peyman Farzinpour enjoys a diverse career as a conductor, composer, multimedia producer, music professor, and arts entrepreneur. He is currently the Executive / Artistic Director and Conductor of the new music and multimedia group, ENSEMBLE / PARALLAX as well as Director of Farzinpour Creative Multimedia Ventures. He has traveled and conducted throughout major concert halls in the United States, Canada, and throughout Europe where he has conducted in France, Italy, Germany, Austria, Czechia, and Bulgaria. He is equally at home with the classics, as well as adventurous, avant-garde music, much of which he has commissioned and premiered, not to mention world and rock music (where he got his start as an electric guitarist!). A hallmark of his performances are collaborations with world-renowned multimedia artists, as well as choreographers and dance companies. His group, ENSEMBLE / PARALLAX, has become the first music ensemble to commission and perform each of its compositions with a new, multimedia work created exclusively for each composition.

Farzinpour started his career with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and continued as Director of New Music with the LA County Museum of Art, where he was responsible for creating innovative concerts that were awarded first place by ASCAP/Chamber Music America for Adventurous Programming of Contemporary Music. He has previously also served as Music Director and Conductor of Erato Philharmonia in Los Angeles, which was dedicated to performing standard and contemporary classical repertoire alongside multimedia, dance, and live painting. He has also served as the Music Director and Conductor of the Rivers Symphony Orchestra and the Waltham Philharmonic Orchestra in Massachusetts, and has also held the position of Conductor in Residence with Opera Cabal, with which he led the world staged premiere of the Georg Friedrich Haas opera ATTHIS at the Kitchen in NYC. The sold-out performances were hailed as a “mesmerizing production” by the New York Times.

Peter Peyman Farzinpour is a composer and conductor and the Artistic Director of the multimedia contemporary music group ENSEMBLE /PARALLAX and Sinfonietta Notturna as well as the Director of Farzinpour Creative Music & Multimedia Ventures.
