Musician

Christian Artmann

Called a “composer with great vision” by All About Jazz and praised for his “stunning virtuosity” by JazzTimes, flutist/composer Christian Artmann is passionate about bridging boundaries, following the path of inspiration with honesty and courage, and creating space for dialogue and understanding.

Having grown up immersed in classical music in his native Germany and Austria, Artmann was invited to Aspen Music Festival as a teenager where he performed under world-renowned conductors Claudio Scimone and Lawrence Foster and gave solo recitals of Debussy, Hindemith and Bartók. Increasingly fascinated with composition and improvisation, he realized that jazz was his true calling and committed to developing his own musical voice.

Christian Artmann: Fields Of Pannonia

Read "Fields Of Pannonia" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


Flautist Christian Artmann's work seems to be rooted in the notion that art can and will stretch as far as the imagination will take it. And in his case, that's quite a distance. With Fields Of Pannonia, Artmann presents an album-length fantasia, bringing jazz language, baroque influences, impressionistic ideals, swing, straight-eighth grooves, open-ended thoughts, and solidly-structured ...
