Pianomania Nordica - Jed Distler

Together with world-renowned pianist, composer, and educator Niklas Sivelöv, Sara kulturhus introduces the piano series Pianomania Nordica, offering intimate, resonant, and personal musical experiences.

First up is Jed Distler – an American pianist, composer, and radio personality known for his curiosity and playful approach to music. He began in jazz but was soon drawn to the world of contemporary classical music, where his flair for improvisation and love of experimentation have made him a unique voice. As a musician and host of Between the Keys, he blends passion, humor, and a deep love for the piano in all its forms.
