Piano

Annika Treutler is regarded as one of the most intriguing pianists of her generation, combining power and poetry in her playing.

Since making her debut in 2010 at the Berlin Philharmonie with Robert Schumann’s Piano Concerto alongside the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, she has regularly performed as a soloist with renowned orchestras such as the Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Gürzenich Orchestra Cologne, Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra, and Orquestra Gulbenkian. Her performances have taken place in prestigious venues, including the Kölner Philharmonie, Isarphilharmonie, and Wigmore Hall in London.

Beyond her solo career, she is deeply dedicated to chamber music, collaborating with esteemed artists such as Jörg Widmann, Tabea Zimmermann, Daniel Müller-Schott, and Julia Hagen.

In autumn 2023, her recordings were honored for the second time with the prestigious “Opus Klassik” award. Her highly acclaimed interpretations include works by Viktor Ullmann, Robert Kahn, Mendelssohn, and Brahms, captivating audiences with her sensitivity to fragile nuances. Her debut album, featuring works by Schumann, was released in 2013. Annika Treutler is also the initiator of “respondinmusic,” a project dedicated to promoting suppressed music and advocating for a democratic society, particularly among younger generations. Her commitment to youth engagement is also reflected in her role as an ambassador for “Rhapsody in School,” a project founded by Lars Vogt.

She currently teaches at the Hanns Eisler School of Music Berlin, most recently as a guest professor, and holds a professorship for piano at the University of Music Dresden.
