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," blending elements of jazz and Jewish cantor music, classical European traditions, and avant-garde experimentation. 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 to Yedid's artistic practice. Yedid's work is a reflection of his deep interest in Middle Eastern culture, ancient rituals, the aesthetics of classical and liturgical Arabic music, and non-Western music performance practices.
