SHAI MAESTRO – THE GUESTHOUSE QUARTET Shai Maestro (b. 1987) is one of the most exciting pianists of his generation. He began his international career at just sixteen, playing in the legendary trio with bassist Avishai Cohen and drummer Mark Guiliana. With his latest two albums on ECM, produced by Manfred Eicher, he joined the ranks of the great pianists who shaped the
label’s sound—like Keith Jarrett, Paul Bley, and Chick Corea. Live, Shai Maestro and his powerful quartet deliver concerts full of energy and emotional depth, moving between jazz, cinematic soundscapes and global influences. It’s music that draws you in, challenges you, and stays with you. His upcoming project, The Guesthouse (out in 2026), marks a new chapter. After nearly three years of work, Shai has developed a new sound – mixing songwriting with dynamic production, and blending acoustic and electronic elements. It’s bold, beautiful, and unlike anything he’s done before. While the album is still on the horizon, this concert offers a rare live preview—a special treat and a glimpse into Maestro’s next creative evolution. Earlier in the day Shai Maestro will lead a master class with ZHdK students.
