Picture this. Sir András Schiff, jumping out from behind the piano, shouting «Surprise!»

OK, let’s not get carried away. More likely he’ll enter with his usual soft-spoken poise and grace, offering up an evening of delightful piano favourites. Perhaps a bit of Ludwig van Beethoven or a pinch of Franz Schubert? Whatever Sir Schiff chooses to perform, rest assured – you will be in for a treat. Previously Artist in residence at the Philharmonie, knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for his services to music, this piano legend will captivate, charm and «surprise» in equal measure. 

Why do you love the piano?

For the curious minds

Whether it’s listening to it or even playing it, the piano is definitely a favourite for many people – maybe you included? But what makes it so popular? Let’s have a look together, while we wait for Piano Day on 29.03. – the 88th day of the year, 88 like the number of keys on a piano… clever, right?
