He’s recognized for his solo piano work as well as collaborations across diverse genres, demonstrating a strong focus on spontaneous composition and rhythmic complexity.

The Alte Oper Frankfurt (Old Opera House) holds significant cultural importance. Originally opened in 1880, it was heavily damaged during World War II and remained a ruin for decades, becoming a symbol of the city’s destruction. Reconstruction began in the late 1960s, guided by the original architectural plans, and the restored Alte Oper reopened in 1981. Today, it functions as a multi-purpose venue hosting opera, ballet, concerts – encompassing orchestral performances, chamber music and contemporary musical forms – and other cultural events. It is considered one of Germany’s most important concert halls due to its excellent acoustics and historical significance. The building represents a blend of Neo-Renaissance and Baroque architectural styles.
