Piano Recital

MARIO ERITREO

An exquisite piano recital in the crypt of Vienna’s St. Peter’s Church: Italian pianist Mario Eritreo is one of Europe’s most sought-after artists. In 2016, he performed the complete cycle of J. S. Bach’s six organ sonatas at St. Peter’s Church in Vienna, a feat achieved by only three other artists to date. He collaborates with Europe’s most prestigious orchestras and is particularly renowned for his keen sensitivity to the musical intentions of each composition.

A true master of his craft, equally at home in grand concert halls and in the intimate setting of the Crypt concerts.

The crypt maintains a comfortable temperature throughout the year.
