Johanna Summer ft Matt Carmichael

Information

“Johanna Summer is an outstanding [jazz] pianist. She is so centred and at ease with herself, she handles material so confidently and freely...and yet she finds her own right note every time.”

• Igor Levit

“Johanna Summer creates something new from classical music and jazz with her impressive album 'Resonanzen'.”

• Der Spiegel (DE)

„Johanna Summer re-tells the music of classical and modern composers. Every note is a commitment to the freedom of individual expression.“

• ZEIT online (DE)

Johanna Summer began classical piano lessons at the age of 7 and was a multiple prizewinner at the national “Jugend musiziert” competition. She completed her jazz piano studies in Dresden and Cologne and was a member of the Bundesjazzorchester (National Youth Jazz Orchestra). In 2020, she released her solo debut album “Schumann Kaleidoskop” on the ACT label, on which she explores Robert Schumann's music through improvisation. This concept of retelling classical piano works is continued on “Resonanzen” (2023). Johanna regularly collaborates with classical artists like Igor Levit and Kit Armstrong as well as ensembles such as the WDR Bigband.
