Esplanade Presents: Nils Frahm (Germany)

Nils Frahm had an early introduction to music, learning the piano throughout his childhood. It was through this that Frahm began to immerse himself in the styles of classical pianists from previous generations as well as the music of contemporary composers, before forging his own musical path through composition.

Today, Frahm continues to work as an accomplished composer, producer and celebrated performer from his Berlin-based studio at the renowned Funkhaus. His unconventional approach to an age-old instrument, played contemplatively and intimately, and on a mesmerising scale through his vast stage shows, has won him many fans around the world. Frahm has gained global notoriety for his highly developed sense of control and restraint in his work, as well as a breathtaking level of emotion and personality.

After spending much of 2017 in hibernation in preparation for a busy period ahead, Frahm commences 2018 with his first live performances since 2015, and embarks on the beginning of a long worldwide tour entitled All Melody.
