André Hossein

Born: 1905, Samarkand, Uzbekistan

Died: 9th August 1983, Paris, France

Nationality: French-Persian

André Aminollah Hossein, born Aminulla Huseynov, also known as Aminollah Hossein was a French composer of Iranian Azerbaijani origin and a tar soloist.

Hossein is regarded as one of the first 20th-century composers to integrate traditional Persian musical modes into Western symphonic structure. He belonged to the generation of émigré intellectuals who bridged Eastern and European artistic traditions in the interwar years. After his academic formation in Russia and Germany, he settled permanently in France, where he became a respected composer, conductor, and pianist. His works, such as Symphony of Persepolis and Rhapsodie Persane, demonstrate an interest in reviving ancient Persian mythological and spiritual themes through modern orchestral language.
