Lucia Cadotsch, voice
Aaron Parks, piano
Lucia Cadotsch is a Zurich-born, Berlin-based vocalist, songwriter, producer and mentor. With her distinctive vocal style and her innovative band projects such as Speak Low, AKI and LIUN + The Science Fiction Band, Lucia Cadotsch has become one of the defining voices of her generation. For over twenty years, her musical universe has continued to grow - a world of emotional depth and subtle interplay that moves comfortably in the connected space between worlds of song and improvisation.
She is the recipient of major honors including the Swiss Music Prize (2023), the German Jazz Award (2021), and the ECHO Jazz (2017). Critics from The Guardian, DownBeat, Jazzwise, and the New York City Jazz Record have praised her releases for their originality, depth and unmistakable sonic identity.
Across all her projects, Cadotsch cultivates a creative approach grounded in attentive listening, collaborative spirit, and a deep focus on the emotional narrative of song. Her work is equally defined by the contexts she creates for her voice - placing it in distinctive musical environments, treating sound and production as compositional elements, and creating a space where the ensemble’s individual musical identities become part of the music, and where interaction and improvisation become integral parts of its storytelling. These qualities have made her a sought-after performer and mentor at festivals, residencies, and educational programs around the world.
