BADIE KHALEGHIAN
COMPOSER | MULTIMEDIA ARTIST | EDUCATOR
Letters I Never Sent is a cycle of short works for solo violin, composed in collaboration with Houston-based violinist Tong Yan. Each piece unfolds as a sonic self-portrait—an intimate reflection on the complexities of human connection. The composer navigates the terrain between lived experience, memory, and imagination. These are not stories retold, but sensations relived—unspoken letters, etched in sound.
