Stein Festival 2026: Mozart's Piano World Conquers Augsburg

An evening full of sound magic in the Rococo Festival Hall

The Stein Festival: MOZART'S PIANO WORLD will bring the sound world of the 18th century to life on September 18, 2026, in the splendid Rococo Festival Hall of the Schaezlerpalais in Augsburg. At the center is the Augsburg piano maker Johann Andreas Stein, whose instruments have significantly shaped the development of the fortepiano.

Historical instruments, rare ensemble, great closeness

Here, festival atmosphere meets musical craftsmanship: An original Stein piano from 1785, an English Stodart piano from 1790, two tangent pianos from Regensburg workshops, and a two-manual harpsichord by Shudi & Broadwood unfold their individual timbre in the festival hall. Sylvia Ackermann, Christoph Hammer, Costantino Mastroprimiano, and Olga Pashchenko will guide through a program that focuses on rare works for piano and historical keyboard instruments.

Schaezlerpalais as the perfect stage

The Rococo Festival Hall creates an intense multi-day experience in a small setting: no huge open-air grounds, but concentrated concert culture with direct acoustics, fine attention to detail, and a strong community feeling for lovers of early music. The combination of space, instruments, and performers makes this festival a meeting point for classical music fans, Baroque enthusiasts, and curious culture guests.
