Jannis Wichmann is a classical guitarist and sometimes a cross-border artist between different genres and styles. He composes and produces music for films and audio books and realised the production of his debut album "Konfrontation" (Aliso Records, 2019) on his own in 2017/2018. The second album "Field Recordings #Guitarworks" was released in Nov. 2021 and was funded by the Claussen-Simon- Stiftung. From 2010 to 2021 he worked at the Sophie Drinker Institut (Bremen) in the field of music & gender and published several articles in the field of classical guitar and gender. This also resulted in the website www.gitarre-gendern.de, which he runs together with Hannah Lindmaier. Jannis teaches at the Uelzen Music School and has teaching assignments at the International College of Music Hamburg and in the  the Music Therapy programme at the MSH Campus Arts and Social Change.
