Activities of pianist András Schiff

Overview

Pianist András Schiff performed a nearly three-hour recital at the Salzburg Festival in Austria, featuring works by Bach and Mozart. Following his practice of not announcing specific programs in advance, Schiff composed the setlist upon arrival after testing the acoustics and his piano.

Schiff later returned to his alma mater, the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music in Budapest, to receive an honorary doctorate. He announced he would donate honorariums from his upcoming concerts to support the establishment of the Rácz Aladár Roma College at the Academy. During his visit, Schiff also commented on the political climate in Hungary and the responsibility of artists to engage with societal issues.
