For more than ten years, the Maria Baptist Orchestra has been shaping the Berlin jazz scene with its own concert series. More than a hundred concerts have formed a sound ideal that has consistently established itself between the categories. Between jazz and classical music, composition and improvisation, the orchestra unfolds an unmistakable orchestral signature.
Maria Baptist is an exceptional artist. The pianist and composer, who lives in Berlin and New York, inspires her listeners with the positive power of her music. Baptist's diversity and soloism have led her to the forefront of the current jazz scene. She has been nominated for prizes such as the ECHO Jazz or the German Record Critics' Award and has led top orchestras such as the NDR, hr and RIAS Big Bands. Maria Baptist has given concerts all over the world as a soloist, with her trio and her orchestra. She played a private concert for Michael Jackson in early 2000. Despite all her multifaceted work, Baptist's own signature always remains unmistakable. Because there is something magical in her playing. She takes her listeners into worlds outside the concert hall. Let yourselves be kidnapped.
