Till Hoffmann

Piano

Till Hoffmann is a German pianist whose artistic focus lies in exploring the repertoire from early Baroque to contemporary music. He is particularly interested in lesser-known works and in programming that creates connections between contrasting composers and styles. Historically informed playing influences his interpretations, always with flexibility and awareness rather than dogma.

Solo and chamber music are equally central to his work. As pianist of Trio E.T.A., he is part of an ensemble that focuses on a carefully crafted ensemble sound.
