The recipient of numerous awards, Yedid is an Azrieli Prize Laureate in Jewish Music, a Laureate of the Landau Prize for Performing Arts , and a Sidney Myer Creative Fellow. His compositional style has been characterised as "eclectic, multicultural, and deeply personal" combining elements of Jewish cantorial music, European classical traditions, jazz and avant-garde techniques. He has been hailed as one of the most original composers on the international music scene today.

Interfaith dialogue and cross-cultural integration are central themes in his work. His compositions reflect a deep interest in Middle Eastern culture, Jewish traditions and ancient rituals, the aesthetics of classical and liturgical Arabic music, and non-Western music performance practices.

Yedid has performed concert programs featuring Judaeo-Sephardic and Middle Eastern sacred music in his solo piano recitals.
