Piano Day

Einlass: 19 Uhr

Beginn: 20 Uhr

“Why does the world need a Piano Day? For many reasons. But mostly, because it doesn’t hurt to celebrate the piano and everything around it: performers, composers, piano builders, tuners, movers and most important, the listener.” Nils Frahm

Der jährliche Piano Day, eine weltweite Veranstaltung, die von einer Gruppe Gleichgesinnter ins Leben gerufen wurde, findet am 88. Tag des Jahres statt, aufgrund der Anzahl der Tasten auf der Klaviatur.

Ziel der Veranstaltung ist es, eine Plattform für Klavier-Projekte aller Art zu schaffen, musikalische Innovation zu fördern und die jahrhundertealte Freude am Klavierspiel weiterzugeben. Der Piano Day lädt Klavierbegeisterte aller Genres zum Zuhören und Mitmachen ein.

Lars Jakob Rudjord

Norwegian pianist and composer Lars Jakob Rudjord creates music that takes you to places you’ve never been before. His melodic, meditative, personal, comforting and often nature-inspired songs that have touched listeners all over the world. He has released four critically acclaimed albums as a solo artist, and collaborated with artists like Karl Seglem, Moddi, Frida Ånnevik and Ingvild Koksvik.

In April 2024 he releases his new album Kjempe-Jo, inspired by Norwegian folk music and the stories about his great-great-grandfather, the legendary giant, dancer and brawler “Kjempe-Jo” [Giant Joe] who lived in a remote Norwegian valley in the 1800s. Recent single reviews states that "[Rolig Folk] has a slightly mysterious air about it, more suited perhaps to the northern fjords and the Lofoten islands than the south, and with a hint of Gaelic creeping in as well." – Nordic Music Central (UK) and “[Margit] surrounds us with its tenderness and beauty, as if endless heavenly gardens bloomed in front of us.” – Nagamag (GR).  Previous reviews include: “…gloriously cinematic but electronically enhanced piano compositions, with a visual flourish” (Under The Radar Mag, UK), “…a soundtrack composer in a modern classicalist’s skin. You’ll be pressing start all over again” (Drifting, Almost Falling, US), “I love when a song can pull you in like this. It makes me want to read and dream and even write a little.” (Ear To The Ground Music, US).
