Dr. Daniel Mehdizadeh is a Canadian composer, pianist, and choral director based in the Greater Toronto Area. His music has been performed across North America, Europe, and South America, broadcast on radio, and described by Daniel Vnukowski of Classical Jukebox as a “hypnotic masterwork.” His works have been commissioned and performed by leading artists and ensembles including the Penderecki String Quartet, Marc Grauwels, Thorwald Jørgensen, the Ewashko Singers, Ron Korb, and the Princeton Singers, amongst many others, with recordings distributed by Universal Music Group.
Daniel brings a collaborative spirit and artistic leadership to his work.

He is the Founder and Artistic Director of both East Chamber Music and the Stained Glass Centre Classical Series, as well as the former Composer-in-Residence for the Scarborough Philharmonic Orchestra, where he currently serves as Concert and Project Manager and continues to mentor emerging composers.
