András Schiff live in Lockenhaus

Experience András Schiff live on July 9th

András Schiff is widely regarded as one of the leading interpreters of Bach, Beethoven, Schubert, and Janáček. His performances are characterized by a clarity of articulation, a deeply considered approach to structure, and a notable emphasis on voicing within the texture. Schiff frequently performs solo recitals and chamber music, alongside appearances with major orchestras worldwide. He is known for his thoughtful programming and dedication to historically informed performance practice, though not strictly adhering to it.

The Pfarrkirche Lockenhaus, the venue for the 2026-07-09 concert, is a parish church in the Burgenland region of Austria. Originally built in the Gothic style during the 15th century, it underwent significant Baroque alterations in the 18th century. The church is dedicated to Saint James the Apostle. Its architectural features include a prominent tower and interior ornamentation reflective of its Baroque renovation period.

Lockenhaus itself has become associated with classical music through the Lockenhaus Chamber Music Festival, founded in 1987 by Reinhard Goebel and continued after his death. While not exclusively focused on Schiff, the festival has featured him prominently over the years and contributes to a strong musical atmosphere within the village.
