Louis Philippson: Klassik für alle

In the organizer's words:

With his vlogs, humorous contributions and gripping piano interpretations, Louis Philippson is particularly popular with Generation Z for classical music and has already amassed 750,000 followers. The musical talent of the 21-year-old from Mülheim an der Ruhr was discovered on YouTube at the age of seven by his future piano professor. He became a junior student at the Robert Schumann Hochschule in Düsseldorf and has taken part in numerous national and international piano competitions to date. Alongside his music career, he studies international business and music and works as a presenter for Toggo and ZDF.

Louis Philippson's debut album, "Exposition", will be released on February 14, 2025, in which he combines his own compositions with new, colorful arrangements of titles from a wide variety of genres. He skillfully combines poetic piano versions of "OMG" by the K-pop band NewJeans with a dynamic arrangement of Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto, creates elegiac piano versions of melodies from Mahler's Symphony of a Thousand or plays anime classics such as "A Town with an Ocean View" or "Lover's Oath" on the grand piano.
