In conversation with a grande dame of the piano: Elisabeth Leonskaja in the White Hall
A rare format of closeness: In Bad Kissingen, culture enthusiasts meet the world-famous pianist Elisabeth Leonskaja in a personal conversation. The matinee format 'A Coffee with ...' opens an intimate space for a reading atmosphere without reading, for author encounters in a musical sense: Language, voice, memories, and artistic attitude are at the center of this literary experience in the music scene.
The Art of Language: When interpreters tell
Those who appreciate Leonskaja at the piano will experience her linguistic artistry here. In dialogue with the festival director, she unfolds narratives about style, repertoire, and rehearsal work, tells of Sviatoslaw Richter, the Viennese School, and Schubert sonatas. It’s about work interpretation, aesthetic positions, and the subtle details from which great interpretation arises.
Intimate atmosphere, precise discourse
The White Hall of the Regent's Building, with its rococo charm, provides a concentrated, chamber music-like discussion stage. The acoustics of words matter, nuances gain weight. Visitors hear about artistic decisions, repertoire politics, recordings, and the interpreter's responsibility towards the score and the audience.
Context within cultural framework
Leonskaja is considered one of the leading pianists of our time, awarded among others with the Austrian Cross of Honor for Science and Art, first class, the ICMA Lifetime Award, and the Wigmore Hall Medal. Her career links school, tradition, and the present to create a distinctive voice in piano artistry. This conversation opens background knowledge beyond the concert hall: work history, genre traditions, literary quality of program dramaturgy.
Audience closeness and conversation culture
The format invites participation. Question rounds open perspectives from the hall: precise questions about genre, style, and technique lead to answers firsthand. Thus, a dialogical, education-oriented experience arises that captures the reading atmosphere of a conversation concert in words.

Those who want to experience the pianist beyond the keys will gain insights into artistic biography, aesthetic standards, and the poetics of interpretation.
