Robert Neumann is a young, internationally acclaimed pianist and composer (awards include the 2025 German Music Competition, OPUS KLASSIK, and Classical Music Discovery Award). He has performed at leading festivals such as the Lucerne Festival, Kissinger Sommer, and Classical Bridge Festival New York, and made his debut with the SWR Symphony Orchestra at the age of eight. Neumann has worked with orchestras such as the German State Philharmonic Rhineland-Palatinate and conductors such as Dan Ettinger.

Robert Neumann shares his enthusiasm, fascination and joy in making music together with Julia Fischer, Daniel Müller-Schott, Sebastian Manz, Olli Mustonen and many others. His compositions (piano sonatas, chamber music, violin concerto) have been premiered by Julia Fischer, Benjamin Nyffenegger and Alexey Stadler, among others. His dramaturgically well-thought-out programmes combine works from the world of piano literature with his own compositions and improvisations. In 2024, he founded the Cannstatter Klavierfrühling festival, which presents international pianists of the new generation under his direction.
In addition to his portrait and a studio concert, Deutsche Grammophon has also released several singles. Two solo albums have already been released by SWRmusic/Naxos. Works by Schubert, Hummel and Beethoven will be recorded by Genuin, while Blagoy, Chaminade, Szymanowski, Neumann and Stravinsky will be recorded by SWRmusic/Naxos.
Robert Neumann grew up in a musical family speaking three languages. He was taught by Monika Giurgiuman and Elza Kolodin and studied for his concert exam with Eldar Nebolsin in Berlin.
