Following on from the internationally acclaimed, prize-winning success of ÜBERBACH, this is the second joint production by the pianist Sebastian Knauer and the composer Arash Safaian: This Is (Not) Beethoven. The Piano Concerto that Arash Safaian has composed in variation form for Sebastian Knauer transports themes by Ludwig van Beethoven into the modern world of music to mark the 250th anniversary of his birth.
Arash Safaian is artist, composer and producer. He is the son of artist Ali Akbar Safaian, an important representative of Iranian modernism. Born in Teheran, he grew up in Bayreuth, where he was exposed to Richard Wagner’s operas at an early age. Alongside his interest in music, painting and sculpture shaped his childhood and youth. He studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Nürnberg and showed his series of pictures in solo and group exhibitions, before moving to the Munich College of Music and Drama to study composition. There he studied with Jan Müller-Wieland and Pascal Dusapin and film music with Enjott Schneider. He has made his mark as a composer with orchestral works, ensemble pieces, film music and operas.
