Manon-Liu Winter

Manon-Liu Winter is an Austrian pianist and improviser based in Vienna. She studied piano with Hans Kann and Oleg Maisenberg and developed an interest in twentieth-century and contemporary piano music, performing works by the Second Viennese School alongside recent compositions. Her work brings together the piano's traditional concert sound and extended acoustic resources.

Winter teaches piano and improvisation at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna. She works closely with composers and performers in new music and is also active as an improviser. Prepared piano, direct contact with the strings and electronic extensions are part of her exploration of timbre, resonance and the relationship between composed and spontaneous forms.
