Italian pianist Alessandro Deljavan has captivated audiences for more than two decades with his exceptional virtuosity and emotional depth. He began playing the piano at the age of two and gave his first concerts at three. Today, his performances take him around the globe — from Europe and Asia to the United States — and he is a regular guest at major festivals such as the Festival International Piano Classique de Biarritz, Festival Chopin à Paris, the Franz Liszt Festival, and Tippet Rise. Deljavan won the Concours musical de France in Paris at the age of nine and has since received numerous international awards, including prizes at the Hummel Competition, the Gina Bachauer Young Artist Competition, the Isang Yun Competition, and multiple distinctions at the Cliburn Competition. As a soloist, he has performed with leading orchestras such as the Mariinsky Theatre Orchestra, the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano Giuseppe Verdi. His extensive discography includes more than 60 albums on labels such as Stradivarius, Brilliant Classics, Naxos, and Piano Classics. On Spotify, his recordings have reached millions of streams. He also appears in music films and numerous radio and webcast performances, including the Cliburn webcasts, watched by more than one million viewers worldwide.

Specialising in German Expressionist and Classical Modernist works on paper, Thole Rotermund Kunsthandel has been one of the leading contacts for collectors throughout Europe in this field for over 20 years. The focus is on important artists of the early 20th century: August Macke, Franz Marc, Paul Klee, Alexej von Jawlensky, Lyonel Feininger, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, Emil Nolde and others. But the abstract tendencies of early post-war art, such as Ernst Wilhelm Nay and Eduard Bargheer, are also represented. The enthusiasm and passion is for the medium of paper. This is linked to the joy of the freedom, intimacy and immediacy of hand drawing in all its forms and its spontaneous and emotional – but often also fully mature – artistic character, which never ceases to fascinate.

Growing up in the west of Hamburg, a chance encounter in the early 1990s led to a close friendship with the Hamburg artist Horst Janssen, who vividly intensified her interest in modern art. After training as a publishing saleswoman at Axel Springer Verlag AG and managing the location office of Filmförderung Hamburg, Kerstin Peters worked as a freelancer in PR and cultural management for over ten years, including for the municipality of Rellingen, where she organised exhibitions, readings and concerts. A later bachelor's degree in literature and Japanese studies at the age of 44 rounded off her professional training. Her passion for the medium of paper also stems from her proximity to Japan. She runs the Horst Janssen Library in Hamburg's Blankenese district on a voluntary basis. Kerstin Peters has been working for Thole Rotermund Kunsthandel since February 2018.
