Nils Mille

Jonatines No. 5 & 6 Volume 3

A fusion of genres and a new creation. Like their classical predecessors, they follow a multi-part, mostly three-movement logic as well as a thematically reduced clarity. At the same time, they reflect in a clearly nuanced way the fascinating sound diversity of modernism, which makes use of the overflowing wealth of stylistic core elements of jazz. Rich in contrast, dynamic, songlike, progressive, colorful, expressive, enchanting to the ear.

A program-musical declaration of love to the interplay of consonance and dissonance, the tonal footprint of a convincingly successful union of old and new music.

Nils Mille is a state-certified musician and instrumental pedagogue. He studied at the Vienna Conservatory in Vienna and also at the Bruckner Conservatory in Linz. The passionate didactician and keyboard expert has worked at music schools and conservatories in Austria and Germany and as a visiting professor for piano and music theory at the Edward Said National Conservatory of Music in Ramallah, Palestine.

Born in Heidenheim, he now works as a freelance piano teacher, pianist and composer in his adopted home of Marburg.
