Maria Baptist is one of Germany's most distinctive pianists and composers in contemporary jazz. Deutschlandfunk Kultur calls her "one of Germany's greatest jazz musicians," while All About Jazz describes her piano style as "infinitely clever and classy." She has been nominated five times for the German Record Critics' Award.

The heart of her music is the trio with Fabian Timm on bass and Heinz Lichius on drums. In this intimate format, the orchestral dimension of her extensive catalog becomes audible: her compositions flow into one another forming suite-like structures, while wide arcs of tension move between intimacy and power. Improvisations run through the pieces and organically interweave with the written material.

As part of the Five Special Nights: Trio & Guests series, Maria Baptist expands the ensemble with different guest musicians across five consecutive evenings. Each night brings a unique artistic perspective to her music, creating a journey through contemporary jazz at its finest.
