“Maria Baptists rhapsodic, free-flowing piano style evokes Bill Evans & Keith Jarrett,” writes the legendary Downbeat Magazine, ranking the pianist and composer among the great jazz pianists of our time. Maria Baptist, on the other hand, is a wanderer between musical worlds. “She proves how transparent the line between jazz and classical music can be,” says the Berliner Morgenpost about the multi award-winning artist.

Maria Baptist composes equally for jazz and symphonic ensembles, writes for jazz bands as well as for string quintets. As a solo pianist, she improvises with the same ease as she conducts a big band. From Hong Kong to New York, from Copenhagen to Stellenbosch, Maria Baptist presents her compositions at the most internationally prestigious jazz and classical music stages. She has documented her award-winning music on 17 albums.
