Cellist Kian Soltani: Classical Music in a Connected World

“The violin sounds beautiful at the top but it just cannot go any lower, you’re missing those basses. Cello has it all,” says Kian Soltani.

Kian Soltani is a musician with a keen sense of aesthetic and plenty to communicate.

The cellist, together with pianist Julio Elizalde, made their Mostly Mozart Festival debuts in a salon-style program as part of the Stanley H. Kaplan Penthouse set series, A Little Night Music. They showed, perfectly, how to make serious music fun.
