Michael Wollny – piano
Émile Parisien – soprano saxophone


The amazing german pianist Michael Wollny will play in The Wolf’s Meadow with another great musician: Émile Parisien! The excitement, the pure joy of playing and improvising, the hunger for surprise and the magic of the moment, that is not only obvious in every note, but is also transfused to the audience, making this band such a deep, unique, emotionally, and intellectually challenging experience that one will not forget.

As a pianist, Wollny has established himself one of the most important figures on the instrument in our time. He is, as the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung has described him: “the consummate piano maestro: One can justifiably name Michael Wollny alongside phenomena like Keith Jarrett, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Brad Mehldau, Stefano Bollani and Paul Bley. He has everything you can demand of a perfect jazz pianist: masterly technique, exuberant imagination, discipline and a talent for creative chaos, sensitivity and aestheticism.” French soprano saxophone Émile Parisien (Deutscher Jazzpries winner in 2022) is one of the most in-demand European jazz musicians and a true innovator of his instrument.
