Iiris Viljanen
A singular jazz pianist in artistic transition – new music from a beloved Swedish voice.
Rooted in contemporary jazz and the improvisational spirit of her forthcoming piano album So Much of You Was Sleeping (out autumn 2025), Iiris Viljanen’s music flows freely between composition and impulse. Each performance is a living process – no two concerts alike.
On stage, she blends laid-back grooves with fragile textures, where melodies unfold like conversations. Moments of playful exploration meet quiet introspection, and at times a wordless song rises like a whisper. Själsligt uppvaknande vid Slussen (2024) was nominated for a Swedish Grammy and named one of the year’s best albums by Dagens Nyheter – now, she turns the page.
