For this concert, the prizewinner in residence invited a soul mate, whose school was not only classical music but also jazz. When Johanna Summer plays Schumann, it leaps into the present in the pianist's hands thanks to her improvisational skills. "I'm interested in reaching a state of consciousness in which I can let the source of my music bubble," says the pianist. This was a perfect opportunity for Anastasia Kobekina—and so the two teamed up and, in addition to Schumann , also performed works by Fauré and Bach .

Equally at home in the concert hall or the jazz club, the celebrated pianist Johanna Summer made herself known to the music world with her 2020 debut album, Schumann Kaleidoskop, in which she transformed the works of Robert Schumann into music of her very own. Süddeutsche Zeitung described it as “a minor sensation”. Summer combines her precise musicality and her talent for spanning a huge musical range with the freedom of jazz.
