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.
