Experience Franck Ollu live on July 23rd

Franck Ollu, a French composer known for his minimalist and atmospheric works often incorporating electronic elements alongside traditional instrumentation, will perform at the Kollegienkirche in Salzburg on July 23, 2026. His compositions frequently explore themes of space, light, and the subtle nuances of sound, drawing influence from both classical and contemporary music traditions. He is recognized for creating immersive sonic experiences that blend acoustic and synthesized textures.

The Kollegienkirche, officially the Church of St. Michael, holds significant historical and architectural importance within Salzburg. Constructed between 1694 and 1707 in the early Baroque style by Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach, it was commissioned by Prince-Archbishop Count Firmian as a collegiate church for the Benedictine monks. Notably, Mozart’s *Great Mass in C minor* premiered there in 1783, with Mozart himself conducting. The church’s interior is characterized by its oval dome, elaborate stucco work, and frescoes depicting scenes from the life of St. Michael. It remains an active place of worship alongside its function as a concert venue renowned for its exceptional acoustics.
