MIRKHALIL MAKHMUDOV (born in Tashkent in 1947) entered the faculty of Composition at the Tashkent State Con­servatory. He studied composition under supervi­sion of R.Vildanov, and graduated from the conservatory (class of F.Yanov-Yanovsky) in 1971.

The bent of the young composer to the instrumental music was determined in his student days, and he composed a number of works in this genre. M.Makhmudov composed his sym­phony "Navo" ("Melody") as a diploma work, and demonstrated the ways of using infinite poten­tials, which can serve as orientations for com­poser's work in the sphere of makom, in par­ticular for the development of the national sym­phony. His three symphonies, symphonic poems, concerto for chamber orchestra, suite, poem, “Mukhammas and ufor” series, concerto for violin and orchestra, "The sounds of Tashkent" cantatas witness his fruitful and many-sided creative part.

The works of M.Makhmudov in the sphere of musical theatre, such as “Broken jar”, "The son of worker", "Match-maker brothers" dramas and comedies, are considered as the most advanced samples of contemporary creative work.

The music to such films as "Suyunchi", “The riot of daughters-in-law", "Abdullajon", which possess a place in the "golden fund" of Uzbek films, is also composed by M.Makhmudov.

The works of M.Makhmudov are highly appreciated not only in Uzbekistan, but also in Central Asian republics and a number of foreign countries.

M.Makhmudov is also an exigent teacher. Having been working at the faculty of Composition at the State Conservatory of Uzbekistan for many years, he has educated a number of students.
