Sebastian Wappler - "Still Hope" AlbumReleaseTour

In 2026, Dresden-based jazz pianist and keyboardistSebastian Wapplerwill present his debut project, which innovatively combines a jazz-influenced rhythm section with the string ensemble “Lys.” Groove-oriented jazz and fusion elements blend with orchestral richness, minimalist structures, and distinctive themes. The result is music that unites improvisational freedom with compositional rigor and opens up new forms of stylistic fluidity.

The vision: to bridge the gap between jazz, classical, and pop and create an inclusive experience for a broad audience. Classical music lovers encounter a powerful rhythm section, while jazz fans discover the depth and rich sound of a string ensemble. This transforms every concert into a space for exchange that inspires the audience to step outside their comfort zones and embrace new perspectives.
