Hani Niroo: Rainbow

Hani Niroo returns to the Small World Centre for a solo show with storytelling, music, and drawing for children ages six and under. Performing on guitar and xylophone, Niroo will sing about the sun and how there was a blue sky and lit earth after the sunrise, yet the sun missed all the colours of the rainbow. Children will use their creativity and draw throughout the performance following Niroo’s prompts in Farsi.

Hani Niroo has been working as a music educator in Vienna since 2008 and has collaborated on several children’s albums produced by Pardis for Children since 2015: Songs of Pardis, Songs of Pardis 2 and Songs of Norouz, to name a few. A classically trained violinist, she graduated from Tehran University with a bachelor’s degree in music and a specialization in setar. Hani Niroo studied elementary music and movement pedagogy at Orff Institut, Salzburg and has a harmony and composition diploma from Prayner Conservatory in Vienna.
