    Igor Levit - Artist in Residence 2026

    Igor Levit is considered one of the most innovative and versatile pianists worldwide. The New York Times calls him one of the "most important artists of his generation," while the Süddeutsche Zeitung describes him as a "stroke of luck" for the concert scene. He consistently places his art in the context of societal events, understanding it as inseparably linked to them. As Artist in Residence in 2026, Levit shapes this year's concert program at Schloss Elmau with six piano recitals. For his first double evening, he focuses on selected Beethoven sonatas.

    Cuban Weekend
    with Sarah Willis & Sarahbanda

    French horn and salsa band, this combination had never been seen before – until Sarah Willis, horn player with the Berlin Philharmonic, combined them in her highly successful project “Mozart y Mambo” project. Her “Sarahbanda” brings together some of the most talented musicians from Cuba in a somewhat different Cuban salsa band – with a French horn at the centre. The arrangements of the well-known Cuban music are full of infectious rhythms, lightness and energy that make the listener listen with pleasure and even encourage them to dance.
