Connecting Worlds
Die Kunst des Crossover-Klavierspiels
Warum nur einen Stil spielen, wenn die Welt so viel mehr bietet und Wege zu den unterschiedlichsten Gefühlslandschaften gewährt!
In meinem Programm „Connecting Worlds“ geht es um das, worum es in der Musik schon immer ging: um Verbindung.
The selected compositions touch me deeply, I love to play them and dive into them to discover hidden things. Like with Alan Pasqua's To Love Again and Agrodolce. Some composers I know personally: John Goldsby and Robin Meloy Goldsby, who by the way introduced me to Alan Pasqua's music. More from Cologne and the Rhineland: Chilly Gonzales, Pietro Pittari, my own works. And of course the big names: Keith Jarrett, Ludovicio Einaudi. Plus a pinch of jazz standards and then there's Brad Mehldau, who infected me with his Beatles project.
You may have guessed from the names - this is a crossover project: jazz, neoclassical and pop music, all interwoven, as announced: "Connecting Worlds". The only thing missing is an audience. So, please get in touch with me.

"I am one of the most listened to live pianists in Cologne - even without a big name.
Mein Haupt-Wirkungskreis liegt rund um den Dom: im Excelsior Hotel Ernst bin ich seit 15 Jahren, im Musical Dome spiele ich zum Entrée zur Show Moulin Rouge und auch im WDR Funkhaus durfte ich schon die ein oder andere Veranstaltung mit gestalten.
With my new piano solo program, I want to hit the concert stage."
