After having studied in Basel with Jurg Wyttenbach and in Paris with Claude Helffer, pianist Ingrid Karlen decided to specialise in 20th century music. She has gained international reputation both as soloist and chamber musician, thanks to numerous concerts given in Europe, the United States, Ukraine, China, New-Zealand and Australia.

During a year's stay in China, she took great interest in the country's present-day music tendencies. As well as recording in radio studios and giving first performances of many pieces, Ingrid Karlen has made a solo recording for ECM.
