Piano | Lorenz Kellhuber

Born in Munich into a family of church musicians, Lorenz began classical piano studies at the age of five and, at sixteen, entered the Jazz Institute Berlin. In 2014, he became the first German musician to win the Parmigiani Montreux Jazz Solo Piano Competition. His career has taken him across Europe and the Americas, with performances at the Berlin Philharmonie, Munich Isarphilharmonie, Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, and the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao.

Alongside his concert work, Lorenz is active in education and was appointed professor at the Dresden Academy of Music in 2021. In 2020, he co-founded the Regensburg Chamber Music Festival, where he serves as artistic director and curator.

Drums | Gabriel Hahn

German–French drummer and composer Gabriel Hahn is known for his cross-genre creativity. For more than a decade, he has toured worldwide with the legendary vocal jazz ensemble The New York Voices. He has also been the regular drummer for the Lorenz Kellhuber Trio, the Tobias Meinhart Quartet, and the Franco–German septet Das Rote Gras. His work spans jazz, a cappella, world music, and contemporary opera, with deep engagement in the traditions of the Balkans, West Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, and classical India. He has also performed with Talisman, Konnexion Balkon, and the intercultural orchestra Canto Migrando under conductor Hannes Beckmann, reflecting his strong commitment to transcultural music.

Now based in Taiwan, Gabriel is active in the local jazz scene, serves as director of the Vocal Asia Festival, and founded Glocal Culture Exchange to promote dialogue between Taiwanese and international artists.
