Maia Wackernagel

A classically trained pianist (Basel, Paris) who came to jazz late and now explores it across international stages, including collaborations with African musicians.

Maia Wackernagel is a classically trained pianist, having studied at the Basel Conservatory and completed her master's studies in Paris. After her studies she worked as a versatile performer ranging from classical works to contemporary music, hip-hop and film music. She came to jazz relatively late - after some twenty years devoted mainly to her family, with only sporadic excursions into concert performance - and found in it an exciting new terrain that opened up unlimited possibilities of musical expression. Concerts with various musicians at home and abroad followed, including a solo piano recital of improvisations in London in 2019 and invitations to international festivals in Abidjan, Ivory Coast and Yaoundé, Cameroon, where she has further expanded her horizons through collaborations with African musicians. Her album "Patterns of Self and Other" was released in June 2023.
