Pianist and composer Juan María Solare (b. Buenos Aires, 1966) creates music that bridges art music and more accessible sound worlds.

His catalogue spans neoclassical and post-tonal piano music, as well as Argentine tango, electronic (including ambient), and orchestral works. Trained by composers such as Mauricio Kagel and Karlheinz Stockhausen, and strongly influenced by Astor Piazzolla and The Beatles, his work follows a singular path between tradition and experimentation.

Solare is active both as a performer and as a recording artist, with over 500 concerts worldwide and more than 35 million streams on Spotify and 5 million on Amazon. His releases focus primarily on solo piano, with occasional excursions into other genre-crossing formats.

He teaches at the University of Bremen (where he conducts the Orquesta no típica, a tango ensemble) and at the Hochschule für Künste Bremen (composition for school practice). His works have been performed internationally both by himself and by various ensembles and soloists, including in Argentina, Germany, the UK, Scandinavia, Australia, Turkey, and the United States. His music has been used in a dozen short films.

In addition, he has edited several piano albums for Ricordi (Universal Music) and Peters Verlag (Leipzig).
