Shahab Zeinoghli was born in Tehran on September 03, 1979. His father was one of the Iran Air head managers who was sent to Europe as a delegated agent to manage overseas’ branches of Iran Air during his duty. This was an opportunity for Shahab to study in western schools and start music lessons from age of six.
Shahab started the theory of music so fondly; although his family was not quite consenting. After three years, he started to expand the theory into practical on electronic keyboard and especially on piano. On 13th of July 1989, he was sent with a group of fourteen people to Austria for a 4days trip to visit Music Academies in Austria, the cradle of world’s music and musicians. He has the honor of visiting his great teacher (teacher of his teacher) Professor Herbert Von Karajan, one day before his death in Salzburg on 15th of July 1989. Shahab, who was nominated “The 10years Old Genius” by Karajan, was a very emotional romantic Persian boy who decided to practice one of Karajan’s conducted orchestras for piano in reminiscence of Karajan in Rome, where he was living at meantime. This was his first great success on the stage five months after Karajan’s death, in memory of him before the New Year at Christmas Eve.
His growth in music was such unbelievable, as he deserved his title (of honor) “Genius”. The first official solo piano concerto of his was “La Campanella” (Franz Liszt) at Rome Opera House (Teatro dell'Opera di Roma), July 1995. “Moonlight Sonata” (Beethoven) was his second concerto. He started composition in age of 16 and his first song was “Serenade La Bella Luna”, which was composed for Piano, Strings and Harmonica. Establishing the Youth Symphonic Orchestra of the school he was studying in, was his second step on ladder of success in his Music life. After going back home, he joined The Iran's National Orchestra and stayed there for a very short period.
He got two Honorary Diplomas from “Schola Cantorum Basiliensis” and “University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna” after his solo piano concertos in ‘Grande Théâtre de Genève’ and ‘Theater an der Wien’ on 13th and 20th of September 2002.
Since then, he has reduced his activities in music because of his Arthritis pain in his neck; which is brought to him because of heavy piano practicing everyday.
And now, his main musical activities are teaching the theory and structural part of music to children and conducting & composing for some bands and small orchestras in his city.
