Johannes Wallmann

media release: Join us for an evening with jazz pianist and composer Johannes Wallmann, a celebrated artist on Shifting Paradigm Records and Yamaha Piano artist. Praised by DownBeat for his “confident, muscular, and elegant” playing and evocative compositions, Wallmann brings decades of experience as both bandleader and sideman across the globe. As Director of Jazz Studies at UW-Madison and holder of the John and Carolyn Peterson Chair in Jazz Studies, he leads with vision and artistry. His latest album Not Tired has been hailed as a masterful balance of structure and freedom, a standout jazz release of 2025.

Wallmann is joined by trumpeter Riley Mulherkar, a rising star and Lincoln Center Emerging Artist Award winner known for his modern yet timeless sound, bassist John Christensen, whose genre-blending compositions radiate warmth and hope, and vibraphonist Mitchell Shiner, a dynamic Milwaukee-based musician and educator bringing vibrant, genre-defying energy to the stage.

Experience a night of innovative jazz with these masterful musicians pushing boundaries and celebrating the beauty of improvisation and collaboration.
