His diverse career remains truly international, as he continues to captivate audiences in concerts throughout North America, Europe and Middle East.
• Malek began his musical career as a classical pianist, winning the first prize at the National Young Artists’ competition in 1988. He received numerous prizes including the Stegner Foundation for the Arts Fellowship and the 1997 Outstanding Music Award.
• Active as a performer for many years, he decided to shift his attention to composition. Malek developed a special interest in near Eastern music and the ancient music of Syria. He began to integrate Arabic “maqams” or modes with Western harmonies in his music. This led to his current project, “Echoes from Ugarit”, based on the music of Ugarit, the oldest musical notation in the world, dating back to 3400 B.C.
• A prolific composer, Malek has written and produced music for TV shows, corporate multimedia, video presentation and commercials. His music compositions embrace the great diversity of his international background and influences. Malek is a member of The Recording Academy and The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP). One of his most memorable performances was playing Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 in B Flat Minor.
