Biography

Till Hoff­mann is a Ger­man pianist whose artis­tic focus lies in explor­ing the reper­toire from ear­ly Baroque to con­tem­po­rary music. He is par­tic­u­lar­ly inter­est­ed in less­er-known works and in pro­gram­ming that cre­ates con­nec­tions between con­trast­ing com­posers and styles. His­tor­i­cal­ly informed play­ing influ­ences his inter­pre­ta­tions, always with flex­i­bil­i­ty and aware­ness rather than dogma.

Solo and cham­ber music are equal­ly cen­tral to his work. As pianist of Trio E.T.A., he is part of an ensem­ble that focus­es on a care­ful­ly craft­ed ensem­ble sound. It has per­formed at venues such as the Elbphil­har­monie Ham­burg, Stuttgart Lieder­halle, and Wig­more Hall Lon­don, and has received the Ger­man Music Com­pe­ti­tion Prize, the Beren­berg Cul­ture Prize, and oth­ers. Their debut album appeared on GENUIN in 2023.

Hoff­mann won first prizes at “Ton und Erk­lärung” (2019) and the TONALi Com­pe­ti­tion (2016), and 4th prize at the Inter­na­tion­al Bach Com­pe­ti­tion Leipzig (2018). He has per­formed with the Mari­in­sky Orches­tra, the Deutsche Kam­mer­phil­har­monie Bre­men, and the Stuttgart Cham­ber Orches­tra, among others.

He stud­ied with Nel­la and Andrej Jus­sow in Stuttgart, Prof. Kaya Han in Karl­sruhe, Prof. Dirk Mom­mertz in Munich, and Prof. Bernd Goet­zke in Hannover.

Fes­ti­val invi­ta­tions include Hei­del­berg­er Früh­ling, Schleswig-Hol­stein Musik Fes­ti­val, Kharkiv Music Fest, and Rhein­gau Music Festival.
