Description:

The Dervish And The Magus was written in 1994 and revised in 2012. The revised version of the work is written for and dedicated to Mr. Kian Soltani. The cello concerto is composed in form of music for an imaginary ballet in seven scenes consisting of three characters: 1. The Dervish, a holy and pure character represented by the cello throughout, 2. The Magus (the sorcerer), a scheming and evil character whose entrances are marked by harsh and dissonant harmonies from the orchestra, and 3. The Folk, a rather naive character represented by a folk song throughout. The concerto consists of interactions between these three characters, symbolizing the struggle between the good and the evil.
