Bernhard Schieler isn’t just playing jazz—he’s telling stories. With a piano in front of him, this master improviser brings melodies to life, weaving tales of love, farewells, travel, and everyday moments. For fans of heartfelt jazz that’s both sophisticated and approachable, this is a show not to miss.
Bernhard Schieler is a jazz pianist whose music goes beyond genre—it tells life stories through melody. Praised as a “poet of the piano,” Schieler creates music that redefines jazz with charm, sincerity, and emotional depth. His pieces reflect love, farewell, travel, and everyday experiences, each like a moving poem.
Blending the improvisational freedom of jazz with memorable melodies, he draws inspiration from artists like The Beatles and Sting, creating a distinctive, catchy style. Schieler emphasizes that his music is emotional and accessible: “This isn’t elitist jazz; it’s jazz for everyone.”
His career spans 25 years, from winning multiple German Youth Jazz Competitions to earning a Master’s in Jazz Piano from the Cologne Music Academy. He has topped the official German jazz album charts, won the Echo Jazz Award, and records as a Steinway artist.
Joining him is his band triosence, founded in 2002. Known for blending jazz, folk, and world music, triosence has performed over 50 concerts worldwide and amassed more than 25 million plays online. In September 2025, Schieler and triosence will present their 10th album, Stories of Life, a 25th-anniversary tribute capturing love, farewells, laughter, and tears. Each track tells a chapter of life’s moving stories.
