Nora Thiele

Nora Thiele, a pioneering frame drummer and multi-instrumentalist, bridges genres, eras, and cultures in transdisciplinary projects. With over 1000 concerts across Europe, the Middle East, and China, plus compositions of contemporary works, she captivates audiences worldwide through rhythm and improvisation. In Electro meets Classic, she merges electronic sounds with acoustic instruments like piano and frame drum, inviting listeners into her sonic world between neoclassicism, minimalism, and ambient soundscapes. Echoes of Keith Jarrett and Steve Reich can be heard throughout. From meditative to rhythmically powerful, the music carries the audience along, dissolves the sense of time, and impresses through virtuosity, sensitivity, intensity, uniqueness, and freshness.
