Arash Rokni was born in Tehran, Iran. He has performed and participated in festivals and competitions in Iran, Armenia, Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Denmark.
His programme includes a piano transcription of one of Bach’s finest solo violin works and Brahms’s tribute to his friend Robert Schumann. It is completed by two of the towering musical geniuses of the 20th century in Hindemith and the great Russian, Shostakovich who managed to thrive artistically under the hugely restrictive regime of Stalin.
