Zade Dirani Live in Concert

Zade Dirani brings his distinctive blend of classical piano and global pop to Strathmore for a single evening, performing with a 50-piece orchestra in the Music Center. A pianist and composer who has topped Billboard charts, Dirani has been called a “Piano Prodigy” by People magazine, and his career has taken him to UNESCO headquarters, major arenas, and royal halls, where he has played for figures including Queen Elizabeth and President Nelson Mandela.

The concert program promises a mix of reimagined international hits and original compositions, with pieces such as “Kalimat,” “Hoy Tengo Ganas de Ti,” “Je n’ai pas changé,” and “You Raise Me Up” expected. Dirani’s cross-genre approach is reflected in his collaborations, including the duet “Princess of the Night” with Richard Clayderman, his album *Un Piano Y Amigos* with Spanish artists like Ana Mena and India Martínez, and his work with London’s Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
