Hans Lüdemann is a "wanderer between worlds" who has formed top-class European ensembles with the piano trio ROOMS and the German-French octet "TransEuropeExpress" (T.E.E.) and in the TRIO IVOIRE with the balaphonist Aly Keita creates transcultural connections between Africa, Europe and jazz. As a solo pianist, he improvised a "hommage a Köln concert" at the Cologne Opera, he expands the acoustic piano sound into a microtonal instrument with his "virtual piano" and has developed new playing techniques for the historical clavichord. In the concert series "die kunst des trios" (the art of the trio), which began in 2007, a whole series of piano trio concepts is being created together with an international squad of exquisite musical partners.
