Information: Hermann Keller - Biography Hermann Keller was born in Zeitz (Saxony-Anhalt, Germany) in 1945. He took piano lessons from the age of six and started composing at 14. From 1963 to 1968 he attended the Weimar Conservatory, where he studied Composition with Johann Cilenšek and Piano with Ingeborg Herkomer. This was followed by an assistantship and a teaching position at the Hanns Eisler Conservatory in Berlin. From 1971 he played on a regular basis with jazz musicians, drawing international acclaim with his Berlin Improvisation Quartet (or Trio). Many of his improvisatory patterns and works with improvisation date from this period. Hermann Keller has been a freelance composer, pianist and improviser since 1981. He teaches Theory and Improvisation at the Freie Musikschule Musikhaus e.V., which he co-founded in 1990. His music has been heard inter alia at the Leipzig Gewandhaus, the Boswil Künstlerhaus, the Berlin Biennale, the Berlin Festival, the Mannheim Klangwerkstatt, the MDR Musiksommer, the UltraSchall Festival (Berlin) and the Rheinsberg Festival.
