Christian Steinhäuser

He acted as Music Director and Music Production Company for the Baku 2015 First European Games Closing Ceremony. His fusion of traditional Azeri music, classical orchestra and modern arrangements won high praise from the media, as well as from the people of Azerbaijan. Steinhäuser's new arrangement of the Azerbaijan National Anthem has become a favorite of the country's top government officials.

The soundtrack for the 44th United Arab Emirates National Day was the second collaboration in 2015 with Steinhäuser, his music-production company DASDUR and Scott Givens' FiveCurrents. With Steinhäuser as music director, DASDUR combined traditional and modern music—in this case, adding an epic orchestra landscape to traditional Arabic elements. Bringing together members of the Abu Dhabi cultural committee, local musicians, singers and producers, the full soundtrack was completed in four weeks. Along with an updated national anthem, it was performed on December 2 in Abu Dhabi's Zayed City Sports Stadium in front of all the rulers of the emirates and an audience of 25,000.
