For the first time Moritz Preisler and Frank Gratkowski will meet as a duo.
It is about creating in the moment, the enjoyment of unique moments, the allure of the unknown and the first encounter.
Moritz Preisler is a pianist and composer who has lived in Cologne since 2013. He grew up in Bonn in a musical environment, began his pianistic training classically and, also as a composer, tended more and more towards jazz, improvised and new music.
The main focus of his artistic work is his current solo piano project Chiasma and his trio with David Helm on double bass and Jan Philipp on drums, with whom he released the highly acclaimed (and also recorded at LOFT) debut album Raureif on Klaeng Records in 2022. He is active as a pianist and composer in various small and large formations throughout Europe. Since November 2019 he played in the French “Orchestre National de Jazz des Jeunes” under the direction of Franck Tortiller, from whose members the European ensemble “Asteria Collectif” was formed in 2021.
He is also active in various interdisciplinary contexts, e.g. as a composer for dance projects, as a pianist at the Bonn Opera, as a dance répétiteur, in silent film improvisation, the setting of visual art to music and in collaboration with the light artist Jacqueline Hen.

Frank Gratkowski needs no special introduction to the LOFT audience.
