For his final concert of the season, artist in residence Kian Soltani delves into classical Persian music and thus into his family history: Soltani's parents came to Austria in the 1970s to study music. His father, Khosro Soltani, is a bassoonist and recorder player, as well as the Persian wind instruments ney and duduk. He plays with these instruments in the Ensemble Shiraz, which has performed regularly with Kian Soltani and his cello for several years.

Elbphilharmonie Hamburg

A person can lose so much: keys or small change, nerves or courage, memories, home, freedom, dignity. And, although we often don't want to admit it: one day, even life. On the other hand, one can also lose inhibitions, leave something burdening behind, and look forward with freshness and freedom. The Elbphilharmonie's community project offers creative Hamburg residents aged 16 and over the opportunity to explore these topics from different perspectives, together with professional artists. They will present their results as a performance in the Recital Hall, accompanied by the Ensemble Shiraz.
