Michael Wollny live in Krün

Experience Michael Wollny live on August 29th

Michael Wollny will perform at Schloss Elmau in Krün, Germany on August 29, 2026. Wollny is a German pianist known for his distinctive approach to jazz, often described as “narrative” or “atmospheric.” His compositions blend elements of classical music—particularly composers like Satie and Rachmaninoff—with improvisation and a strong melodic focus. He frequently explores unconventional harmonic structures and utilizes dynamic contrasts within his playing, creating a sound that is both introspective and powerfully expressive. He has released numerous albums to critical acclaim and actively tours internationally.

Schloss Elmau is a luxury hotel situated in the Bavarian Alps, renowned for its commitment to culture and the arts. Originally built in the 19th century as a neo-Renaissance castle by Johannes von Preysing, it served as a location for the 1949 Bilderberg meeting – an annual private conference of high-level political leaders and experts. The hotel underwent extensive rebuilding following a fire in 2005, reopening in 2007 with an expanded concert hall capable of hosting world-class musical performances.
