Oliver Poppe serves as a Lecturer at the Bremen University of the Arts, teaching jazz theory, piano, and keyboards. He instructs core courses including Jazz Theory 1, Ear Training (Jazz) 3, Ear Training (Jazz) 5, and Jazz Theory 3, while organizing the HfK Jazz Club concert series.
His artistic and pedagogical focus centers on Jazz, blending traditional piano trio aesthetics with pop and classical romantic influences. Poppe explores themes of color, light, and absence of light through compositions that build elegantly from thematic foundations to improvisational climaxes, as demonstrated in his 2021 album 'Amaurology'.
As an active performer, Poppe leads a trio featuring saxophonist Frank Delle (NDR Big Band), bassist Michael Gudenkauf, and drummer Ralf Jackowski. The ensemble regularly performs at the university's Music Cellar, releases albums on Itchy Dog Records, and conducts workshops for prospective students, maintaining deep integration within Bremen's music scene.
