Michael Wollny

The Schweinfurt-born jazz pianist and composer is regarded as one of Europe's most outstanding musicians. He became known through his work in the trio [em] with Eva Kruse and Eric Schaefer and as a solo artist and impresses with his virtuoso and cross-genre style. Wollny's albums often combine influences from classical, avant-garde and pop music. He has worked with artists such as Nils Landgren, Heinz Sauer, Vincent Peirani and Joachim Kühn and is known for his unconventional compositions and improvisational freedom. For years he has been shaping a new generation of musicians as professor of jazz piano at the Leipzig University of Music and Theatre.
