Pierre-Laurent Aimard live in Salzburg

Experience Pierre-Laurent Aimard live on July 31st

Pierre-Laurent Aimard will perform at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria on July 31, 2026. Aimard is a French pianist internationally recognized for his interpretations of both standard repertoire and contemporary music. His playing is often characterized by intellectual rigor, clarity of articulation, and a deep engagement with the structural elements of a composition. He has championed the works of composers like Ligeti, Messiaen (a former teacher), and has also extensively explored the piano sonatas of Beethoven and Schubert.

The Mozarteum, formally the Mozarteum University Salzburg, holds significant historical importance. Founded in 1842 by Mozart’s widow Constanze and her son August Andreas, initially as a “Mozart-Conservatory,” its original purpose was to preserve and promote the legacy of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The institution quickly evolved into a full-fledged university for music and arts.

The current concert hall within the Mozarteum complex, the Wiener Saal, is known for its intimate setting and excellent acoustics. It frequently hosts performances of chamber music, solo recitals, and vocal concerts.
