In 2018, the Broadway hit "The Bands' Visit," won a slew of Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best original score, best actor, and best actress. It also won best orchestration, which was awarded to Jamshied Sharifi, an Iranian-American composer and MIT alum. Sharifi received his degree in Humanities at MIT, then went on to study at Berklee College of Music. Before the Band’s Visit, he scored multiple films, recorded his own albums, and produced and arranged for other musicians and bands. MIT-Israel, Arts at MIT, and MIT Hillel organized this event with Sharifi that you will hear soon. During this special virtual event, he talked about what it was like working on the Broadway hit, incorporating Middle Eastern influences to his music, and how his MIT degree continues to be relevant as a musician. So take a listen. Here’s Jamshied Sharifi. We also interviewed our very own Candi Deblay, the new MIT-France program manager at MISTI. France is just one of the many countries we send MIT students, but it’s a unique place for cultural experiences and internships. I spoke with Candi about what it was like living abroad in France, and the advancing industries that may be appealing to MIT students.
