Elham Fanous Solo Recital at Spectrum

Music by Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt and Sun Yi-Qian.

Elham Fanous is the leading Afghan pianist of his generation. He aspires to become one of the leading pianists in the world. Music is his passion, and playing piano is his life.

The 21-year-old Kabul native attends Hunter College Bachelor of Music Program in New York City on a full scholarship. He has been interviewed on National Public Radio’s Morning Edition by host Renee Montagne in January 26, 2016, and is the subject of a German television documentary (ZDF tivi)

Elham is also a composer, and has composed five pieces of his own, including four preludes and a sonata, which he and his teachers have performed internationally.

Activities and Societies: It is difficult to imagine a world without music and art. But that’s what some extremists want for Afghanistan. Elham’s piano career is dedicated to ensuring that musicians in Afghanistan will not be intimidated nor silenced by the extremists. His life’s work is to provide hope to other musicians and artists who may be living under threats to their creative expression all around the world.
