Johannes Dickbauer
Johannes Dickbauer is known for his artistic versatility. He realizes himself as a soloist, chamber musician, jazz musician and performer of folk music, as well as a composer. Together with his ensembles, he performs concerts throughout Europe and abroad.
In 2020, Johannes won the top prize at the Seifert Competition. An ensemble formed especially for the occasion performs sophisticated yet accessible compositions that have been described by London Jazz News as "chamber jazz of the highest order - worthy of the ECM catalog."
Seifert Night On-line features five concerts presenting the winners of previous editions of the competition: first prize winners Bartosz Dworak (2014), Mateusz Smoczynski (2016) and Mario Forte (2018), as well as Johannes Dickbauer (second prize winner in 2020) and Kristijan Krajnčan (special prize winner).
The project was carried out as a public task co-financed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland within the framework of the competition "Public Diplomacy 2020 - a new dimension".
