‘The Best Thing Of Piano’

Instrumentalist Joja Wendt is bringing his solo performance to Shanghai next month. Wendt studied piano since the age of four and graduated from the Manhattan School of Music. After several collaborations with famous artists, Wendt began to focus more on his own recit-als. His style is a mix of Jazz,

classical music, ballads and the rhythms of rock. He inspires au-diences with inventive arrange-ments of classical music. Fur-thermore, he presents his music in a very humorous and creative way. A recipient of the renowned Louis Armstrong Award, Wendt is a top-selling artist in Germany among the domestic and inter-
