Wings of the Night – an exquisite piano concert late in the evening in the crypt of Vienna’s St. Peter’s Church. The 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 Vienna’s St. Peter’s Church, an achievement that, to this day, has been accomplished by only three other artists. He performs with Europe’s most renowned orchestras and is particularly known for his refined sensitivity to the musical intentions of each composition.
A master of his craft, he feels equally at home in grand concert halls and in the intimate setting of the Crypt Concerts.
The crypt is pleasantly temperate in every season.
