Biography
- Stefan Schultze (b. 1979, Germany) is a composer, pianist, and improviser. Rooted in
collaboration, Schultze’s practice intersects jazz, contemporary music, and
prospective tools (and systems), encompassing compositions for diverse
ensembles, curating festivals, research, and presenting performances on national
and international stages. His work formulates new approaches to using the piano as
both a compositional and performative tool. Regardless of the final form, his focus
is on translating, transposing, and synthesizing music from various contexts.
