Alan Bartuš, after successfully completing the third semester at the prestigious Manhattan School of Music and working on the New York jazz scene alongside top artists such as Jeff "Tain" Watts, Bob Hurst, Jerry Bergonzi, Michael Cruz and others, will present a new program created during his stay in New York. As part of the In Jazz We Trust series, he will perform together with Nikolaj Nikitin, Štefan Bartuš and Klemens Marktl. We cordially invite you to an exciting New Year's show full of positive energy, which will take place in the Nu Spirit Bar.

Alan Bartuš is an extraordinary piano virtuoso who is already among the most important personalities of his generation. As a semi-finalist of the prestigious Herbie Hancock Institute of Jazz International Piano Competition in 2023, he confirmed his place among the world's jazz elite. Born on February 22, 2001 in Lučenec, Slovakia, into a musical family, Alan followed in the footsteps of his father Štefan, a renowned jazz musician, from a young age. He started attending piano lessons at the age of four and already at the age of thirteen he became one of the greatest talents in Europe.

His musical journey began in Slovakia, continued in Austria at the music school in Neusiedl am See and later at Conservatory in Bratislava. Under the leadership of Mgr. Andrey Bálešová won several awards at international competitions, including first place at the competition in Kamenice nad Lipou (2016) and second place in Milan (2017) and Eisenstadt (2016). He deepened his interest in jazz in 2018, when he started studying jazz piano at the MUK - University of Vienna under the guidance of Professor Oliver Kent.

As a rising star of the international jazz scene, Alan performed with personalities such as saxophonist Jerry Bergonzi and New York artist Tim Armacost. His discography includes the successful albums Solology and Born in Millennium, as well as collaborations with renowned musicians. His work has won the admiration of jazz legends, including Peter Bernstein and Tony Lakatos.

The year 2022 was a breakthrough for Alan - he received several prestigious awards, including the Excellence Piano Awards, the Ö1 Austrian Jazz Prize, and was accepted to the prestigious Manhattan School of Music in New York. In 2023, he became the winner of the Langnau International Piano Competition in Switzerland and the laureate of the Austrian ARTEDEA prize. Alan's unique virtuosity and depth of musical expression place him among the most interesting young talents on the world jazz scene.
