Being only 25, Kian is already one of the most thrilling cellists of his generation. He first attracted worldwide critical attention in the summer of 2015 when he appeared as soloist with Daniel Barenboim and the WestEastern Divan Orchestra in performances at Berlin’s Waldbühne, the Salzburg and Lucerne festivals, the BBC Proms in London and the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires. Born in Bregenz in 1992 to a family of Persian musicians, Kian began playing cello at an early age and was only twelve when he joined Ivan Monighetti’s class at the prestigious Basel Music Academy. He is a protegée of Anne-Sophie Mutter and Daniel Barenboim and has been a member of Mutter’s Virtuosi as well as the West-Eastern-Divan-Orchestra. He also participates in the newly founded Boulez-Ensemble. This year, he won the Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival’s prestigious Leonard Bernstein Award. He is also a Rising Star in the upcoming 2018/2019 season of Vienna Musikverein and Vienna Konzerthaus, with European tours in the horizon.
