An Evening of Persian Delights
November 16 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Faranak Shahroozi is an Iranian-American concert pianist and composer known for her lyrical, romantic, and captivating melodies. Her beautiful musical touch has placed her amongst world-renowned instrumentalists such as Yo-Yo Ma and David Garrett. Her style of composition has been compared to Francis Lai’s Love Story and Nino Rota’s The Godfather.
Faranak’s passion for music started at age five when her parents hired a private tutor to teach her basic musical notes and theory. Following the revolution of 1979, the world as she knew it changed forever. At the start of the Iran-Iraq War in 1980, Faranak and her parents left their hometown of Abadan and moved to Tehran.
In 1984, Faranak moved to the United States, where she pursued her passion for music and received a B. A. in Classical Piano Performance from San Jose State University, California. The dramatic changes in her life had a direct effect on her musical abilities and emotional connections, which led to a series of musical compositions which ultimately captured the attention of famed producer Preston Glass.
