The "master of the story-telling concert" Stefan Mickisch is one of the most distinguished and extraordinary German pianists. His ability not only to play music of all styles from Bach to the modern, but also to explain its structures and mechanisms of action with clarity, knowledgeable competence, professional mastery, humour and a universal view, made him the market leader of a new concert form.

Stefan Mickisch is regularly invited by the most renowned concert venues and opera houses to experience the Lockenhaus Chamber Music Festival with Richard Wagner's Tannhäuser and Parsifal on two days before returning to the Bayreuth Festival.
