NEWS - Johanna Burnheart returns with new album “Bär” + Shares new single “Cylla Burna” New album out 1st December

After studying classical violin, piano and voice during childhood, Johanna’s musical focus developed into jazz during her mid-teens. Rather than following the path expected of a classical violinist, she chose instead to pursue the music that was her passion. From early beginnings in Northern Germany touring with the local youth chamber orchestra through Eastern Europe and Italy to attending Wells Cathedral School in Somerset, UK as a Specialist Musician in her teens and graduating with Honours as the first undergraduate jazz violinist from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London in 2017, Johanna has had a multifaceted and intensive musical journey.

This journey has led to genre-defying collaborations and connections. Notable past performances were the Women’s Day concert with Tomorrow’s Warriors “Nu Civilisation Orchestra” debuting Yazz Ahmed’s Polyhymnia suite at Queen Elizabeth Hall in 2015, playing support for Pharaoh Sanders at Ronnie Scott’s with Rosie Turton in 2018, a tribute show to the Blue Note Label at Queen Elizabeth Hall for the EFG London Jazz Festival 2019 in collaboration with Total Refreshment Centre and a sold out show with Christian Löffler at the Berliner Philharmonie in 2022 as the first violinist in the Detect Ensemble. Since 2021 she has also been a member of the German crossover project Detect Ensemble who toured Europe’s biggest venues and Philharmonics extensively with German DJ Christian Löffler in 2022

Since forming her own band end of 2018, Johanna has released her debut album “Burnheart” and in 2021 she released a remix EP called “Burnheart Remixed” with remixes from Acid Pauli, Beth Lydi, Nesa Azadikhah and Pilo Adami as an homage to her love for techno and how it influenced her debut record.
