About
Lukas DeRungs is an award winning pianist-composer hailing from Mannheim, Germany, whose inspiration ranges from contemporary jazz to renaissance choral music. His debut album “KOSMOS Suite“ was nominated for the German Jazz Prize 2023 and described by legendary vocalist Norma Winstone as ‘music full of imagination, both tender and explosive’.
His second album 'Wake' was released in February 2025 and sees him return to a quintet setting, alongside 4 of his favourite improvising musicians.
“Precise interplay“ Lena Hausheer, Zuger Zeitung
“Virtuosity and elegiac depth of focus“ Judith Engel, Uckermarkkurier
"DeRungs is an emerging artist with plenty to say, a supremely accomplished pianist and also the visionary force behind this varied and very impressive album" Ian Mann, The Jazz Mann
"All of them are masters of their craft, who don't need to put themselves in the spotlight, but rather put their talents entirely at the disposal of the compositional ideas" - KRZ, March 26, 2025
“Extraordinary sound world“ Beat Blaser, Aargauer Zeitung
