Hanni Liang is a pianist, concert creator, lecturer at the University of Music and Theatre Munich and founder of the TONALiSTEN Collective. In her new concert formats, she addresses topics of today with and through music and understands the concert as an open room for encounters, questions and reflections.
Performances brought her to places like Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, Piano Festival Ruhr, Edinburgh International Festival, Pinakothek der Moderne, DAS HAUS Brussels, Konzerthaus Berlin, Styriarte Graz or festivals and orchestras like Heidelberger Frühling, Munich Philharmonic, the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, Ludwigsburger Schlossfestspiele, Reeperbahn Festival, Kissinger Sommer and Mozartfest Würzburg. One of her main focuses includes co-creativity in developing concerts together with people from all different kind of backgrounds. The next season sees her in projects at Kings Place, Brucknerhaus Linz, Jeunesse Vienna, Festspiele Mecklenburg Vorpommern, Beethovenfest Bonn among others.
