CHRIS HOPKINS (piano solo): "Classic Jazz & Swing at its best" From George Gershwin to Duke Ellington The Great American Songbook – and beyond!

Steinway artist Chris Hopkins, the German-American born in Princeton/New Jersey, has received numerous awards and is one of the busiest international artists with his swinging, melodic style and over 5000 live concerts worldwide. For over three decades now, he has been showing how to successfully live his dream and bring together and inspire countless people and fans with his music. Chris Hopkins shares a special passion for the tradition of swinging jazz piano from Fats Waller to NatKing Cole and Erroll Garner with just a few pianists in the world and, building on his idols, has long since found his own musical language. In total, there are perhaps two dozen pianists today who have mastered the technically extremely demanding art of this orchestral piano genre. His stylish concerts are always spiced up with an entertaining presentation and a healthy pinch of humor. A relaxed, rousing and entertaining evening is guaranteed!
