Olli Mustonen live in Lockenhaus

Experience Olli Mustonen live on July 13th

Olli Mustonen, a Finnish pianist and composer, will perform at Pfarrkirche Lockenhaus on July 13, 2026. Mustonen’s musical style is characterized by a blend of improvisation, classical repertoire—particularly Bach and Beethoven—and influences from jazz and folk music. He is known for his intensely personal interpretations and a highly virtuosic technique, often incorporating cadenzas of his own composition into standard concertos. His compositions frequently explore contrapuntal textures and harmonic complexity.

Pfarrkirche Lockenhaus is a parish church located in the Burgenland region of Austria. Originally a Gothic structure, it underwent significant Baroque renovations in the 18th century. The church is notable for its relatively simple exterior which contrasts with its richly decorated interior featuring stucco work and altar paintings. It has become a renowned venue for chamber music due to its excellent acoustics and intimate setting, largely thanks to the efforts of the Lockenhaus Chamber Music Festival, founded in 1983 by Reinhard Goebel. The church's historical significance lies in its representation of the region’s religious and artistic heritage, reflecting both Gothic origins and subsequent Baroque adaptations.
