Nils Kavanagh

Award winning young pianist Nils Kavanagh launches his highly anticipated debut

album, "No Expectations". Audiences will journey through Nils’ unique upbringing,

rooted in the north-west of Ireland’s mystic landscapes and joyous fellowship, while

also inviting listeners to explore the sense of unity and introspection present in

Denmark and broader Scandinavia. Home, joy, family, mythology, folk music, loss

and longing are all key to the music, with an overarching focus on warm melody and

musical storytelling.

Rising star on the UK and Irish scene, Nils Kavanagh is already making his mark

with a unique compositional voice and a fearless approach to improvisation. Winner

of Young Irish Jazz Musician of the Year award 2022, and BBC Young Jazz Musician

finalist in 2024, the pianist has already been making waves as a promising young

musician. With his debut release, Nils is poised to elevate his career as an artist and

bandleader.
