Kian Soltani live in Lucerne

Experience Kian Soltani live on December 13th

Kian Soltani, a highly regarded Iranian-German cellist, will perform at the Kultur- und Kongresszentrum Luzern (KKL) in Lucerne, Switzerland on December 13, 2026. Soltani is known for his interpretations of both standard cello repertoire and lesser-known works, often praised for their emotional depth and technical precision. His playing style blends a rich tonal quality with a nuanced phrasing, drawing comparisons to artists like Rostropovich and Casals. He frequently collaborates with leading orchestras and conductors internationally and is recognized for his commitment to expanding the cello’s presence in contemporary music.

The KKL Luzern, designed by Jean Nouvel and opened in 1998, is a prominent concert hall and convention centre situated on the shores of Lake Lucerne. It is renowned for its exceptional acoustics, particularly within the main concert hall which is home to the Lucerne Festival. The building’s architecture is notable for its geometric design and use of light, incorporating a large glass facade that reflects the surrounding landscape.
