Hania Rani Essentials

An in-demand concert pianist turned accomplished improviser and composer, Hania Rani rose quickly in the classical world in the early 2020s, drawing in music fans of a variety of stylistic persuasions with her inviting neoclassical style. The Polish musician demonstrates a penchant for exploration in her work, mixing her characteristically spare classical piano compositions with forays into jazz and spacey electronics (“The Boat”). Her discography also includes inspired, genre-bending collaborations with like-minded post-minimalist auteurs like Ólafur Arnalds (“Whispering House”) and Colin Stetson (“In All This Heavy Blue”) as well as exemplary concert musicians like cellist Dobrawa Czocher (Biała flaga).
