Yann Keerim

Greek pianist Yann Keerim works between classical tradition, Mediterranean folk, and contemporary improvisation. Born in Ioannina, he started piano at four, later absorbing Scriabin’s harmony and the rhythms of village festivals. Topos (ECM, 2025), his first duo album with lyra player Sokratis Sinopoulos, produced by Manfred Eicher, reimagines Bartók’s Romanian Folk Dances alongside original pieces. He is also pianist on the Sokratis Sinopoulos Quartet’s ECM records Eight Winds (2013) and Metamodal (2019).
