Pianist Leonie Karataş

»Unbelievable Musicality« Daniel Barenboim expressed after hearing Leonie Karataş at the age of fourteen, today she is one of the »great up and coming pianists« (German NDR)
The pianist has been invited to festivals such as the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival, Beethovenfest Bonn, the MiTo SettembreMusica, the Altmark Festspiele and pro:Musica concert series. She has also given recitals and masterclasses in Canada, China, Argentina, Italy, Portugal, South Africa, Ukraine, Cyprus and Switzerland. 
Leonie’s Debut album is now being published by the Berlin based label EuroArts Music International. 
Besides being a professional concert pianist and occasional writer, Leonie is also engaged in social projects and willing to put herself in uncomfortable places when she feels it’s needed. Following threats by e-mail and multiple demands to step back from a charity concert given for the Deutsch-Israelische Gesellschaft, she was forced to perform this concert under police protection.
