Christoph Soldan – a german pianist and conductor - studied under Professors Eliza Hansen and Christoph Eschenbach at the Hamburg Musikhochschule. His break- through to active international concert playing came in a tour with Leonard Bernstein in summer 1989. Of Christoph Soldan, the world- famous director said, “I am impressed by the soulful size of this young musician.“ Since then, Soldan has played in numerous tours with renowned orchestras across Europe and abroad. In particular, this can be seen in the CD recordings of all of Mozart´s piano concertos, which were performed and recorded from 1996 until 2006 A tour of piano evenings took place in Mexico and other countries in Central America in October 1997. In August 1998 he debuted in Salzburg and in the Chamber Music Hall of the Berlin Philharmonic, and in May 1999 in the Leipzig Gewandhaus. In March 2000, there were three piano evenings in Japan. So far, there have been radio and television productions with the Hessische Rundfunk, Frankfurt, Deutschlandfunk, SWR, ORF and ZDF. The Bayerische Rundfunk broadcasted his piano evening in the Munich Residenz in October 1998 and his concert in the Bad Brückenau music festival live in 1999. Radio Bremen braodcasted his recital in Bremen in august 2002 . Starting in 1996 Soldan was performing all 27 piano concertos by Mozart together with the slovakian chamber orchestra CAPPELLA ISTROPOLITANA, the chamber orchestra of PFORZHEIM and the SILESIAN CHAMBER ORCHESTRA Katowice. This cycle of concerts ended in January 2006, performing the concertos for 2 and 3 pianos.

Christoph Soldan developed a “pas de deux for piano and dance”, together with his wife, the dancer and choreographer Stefanie Goes. The première took place in Stuttgart in May 2000. In Spring 2001 he participated the Prague Spring Festival accompanied by the slovakian chamberorchestra “Cappella Istropolitana”. Two recitals in Hamburg and Berlin were followed by  a live – recording of two Mozart piano concertos in the medieval monastery of Maulbronn in september 2002. In January 2004 the première of the new dance project “something about humans and angels” took place in Stuttgart followed by a concert- tour to South Africa. Since 2007 Soldan is working also as a conductor concerning the performances of piano concertos by Bach and Mozart. In the 2014/2015 season, Christoph Soldan will be guesting in Germany, Italy, Spain, Austria, Slovakia and the United States with various programmes such as recitals, literary concerts, childrens concerts,  as soloist with  5 of Mozarts´piano – concertos as well as in chamber music programmes with Brahms piano quintet op. 34.  Since 1994 Christoph Soldan was artistic director of the “Schubertiade auf Schloß Eyb” . In 2007 together with his wife Soldan founded a theatre in the north of Baden-Württemberg between Stuttgart and Heidelberg, where all artistic programmes are taking place since then. The German press describes Christoph Soldan as an artist personality who works with the spiritual intensity and soulful dimension of a piece of music, rather than giving a purely technical virtuoso performance. This challenge to music and to himself is rarely seen today.
