András Schiff live in Klosters

Experience András Schiff live on August 6th

András Schiff, a Hungarian-born British pianist renowned for his interpretations of Bach, Beethoven, Schubert, and Janáček, will perform at St. Jakob Church in Klosters, Switzerland on August 6th, 2026. Schiff’s playing is characterized by clarity, intellectual rigor, and a deeply considered approach to phrasing and structure. He is particularly celebrated for his complete cycles of Bach’s *Well-Tempered Clavier* and Beethoven’s piano sonatas. His performances often emphasize the architecture within the music, revealing both its intellectual and emotional depth.

St. Jakob Church in Klosters dates back to the 15th century, with its origins as a late Gothic parish church. Significant alterations occurred during the Baroque period in the 17th century. The church features a notable pulpit from 1673 and underwent extensive renovations in the 20th century to address structural concerns and modernize facilities while preserving its historical character. The acoustics within St. Jakob are considered well-suited to chamber music and solo instrumental performances due to its relatively intimate size and design. It serves as an active place of worship for the local Protestant community alongside hosting cultural events.
