Cellist Kian Soltani at Trui Teatre tonight
Hailed by ‘The Times’ as a “remarkable cellist” and described by ‘Gramophone’ as “sheer perfection”, Kian Soltani’s playing is characterised by a depth of expression, sense of individuality and technical mastery, alongside a charismatic stage presence and ability to create an immediate emotional connection with his audience. He is now invited by the world’s leading orchestras, conductors and recital promoters, propelling him from rising star to one of the most talked about cellists performing today. In recent months, he has been invited to make debuts with orchestras including the Munich Philharmonic, Vienna Radio Symphony and Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. He is now to appear with the Balearic Symphony Orchestra for a programme that includes Dvorak’s Cello Concerto.
