Salve a tutti! oggi ancora un articolo dedicato ad una donna, una musicista. Viene dalla Giordania ed è una pianista e compositrice, giovane e promettente. Le ho chiesto di parlarmi di lei e della sua attività musicale e vi riporto direttamente la biografia che mi ha mandato. Non voglio tradurla per lasciare le parole intatte, così come lei le ha pensate per me e per voi che leggete. Segue una ricca lista di link, suggeriti dalla stessa Ghiya.

Buona lettura e un caro saluto a tutte e tutti da Ghiya e da me, a presto!

Biography:

A film-composer and pianist from Jordan..

Born in 1984, Ghiya Rushidat’s musical talent didn’t take long to emerge as she began to play the piano and the music she hears at the early age of 4. Channeling her interest in music towards a promising career, she began studying piano performance at the age of 12 and earned the LRSM certificate from the Royal College of Music in London, DEM from France and a B.A from the National Music Conservatory and Yarmouk University in Jordan.

Ghiya has also received a short online film-scoring course from Music and film producer Stu Kennedy, whose many credits include “Narnia: the Voyage of the Dawn Treader” (2010), adding yet another dimension to her musical experience, further expanding her horizon and bringing her another step closer to her dream of becoming the first Arab composer to win an Oscar for Best Original Score.

In addition to playing in over 150 concerts in Jordan and abroad, Ghiya’s composition “Yassamine” has been performed in Italy by the Gli Enarmonici Ensemble, making her the first Arab composer to have their work perfomed by the Ensemble.

“Yassamine” was originally composed as a sound track for a documentary film, one of 7 documentary features for Al Jazeera News and Documentary Channel which Ghiya has composed original soundtracks for. Along with long documentary films, Ghiya has composed original soundtracks for 2 plays, 1 feature film, 7 short films, 3 animation films, a photo gallery and 3 TV spots. 

For Ghiya, music isn’t just a career but rather a life’s passion and a haven from the constraints of the material world.
