Pascal Schumacher
Hailing from Luxembourg, Pascal Schumacher is without a doubt one of the most versatile musicians of his generation. A vibraphonist, composer, bandleader and sound designer, he develops authentic Gesamtkunstwerke combining an array of different musical influences.
Pascal has played together with such exciting musicians as Maxime Delpierre, Francesco Tristano, Bachar Mar Khalifé, Jef Neve, Kenny Barron, Magic Malik, Rabih Abou-Khalil, Wolfgang Haffner and Nils Frahm. In 2023, he founded the trio SINGÜLAR together with Sebastian Studnitzky on piano, keyboard and trumpet, and Edward Perraud on percussion and electronics. Their debut album will be released in 2025.
Pascal performs as solo artist since 2018, his programmes fusing emotional classical music with minimalist electronic sounds. His records SOL (2020) and LUNA (2022) were released on the label Neue Meister and he toured the programmes across Europe, including Philharmonie Luxembourg and Elbphilharmonie Hamburg.
In 2024, Pascal began his new project GLASS I-III, centred around works by Philip Glass, arranged by Pascal himself and supplemented by his own works. He released his solo EP GLASS I in spring 2024, followed in November 2024 by GLASS II, a duo project with pianist Danae Dörken, which the two since tour Europe-wide. For GLASS III, the American composer Judd Greenstein wrote a vibraphone concerto especially for Pascal, which was premiered in June 2025 together with the Philharmonie de Luxembourg.
Pascal is a Yamaha Artist and a Professor for Jazz and Classical Percussion at the Conservatoire de Musique de Luxembourg. He is the Artistic Director of the innovative 'Reset' Music Festival at Abbaye Neimenster and an Ambassador for SOS Children's Villages International - Luxembourg.
