Virtuoso energy meets precise sound architecture
Mustonen is regarded as an artist who does not think in boxes. His career ranges from international solo evenings to performances with leading orchestras such as the Berlin Philharmonic, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Cleveland Orchestra, and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. Particularly his crystal-clear, almost percussive striking culture and the interplay of explosive outbursts and delicate restraint shape his concert experience.

A program with romantic depth and personal signature
The Mainz edition of the series focuses on a program between romantic tension and characterful modernity. Schumann and Grieg provide lyrical expansiveness, Beethoven brings dramatic energy, and Mustonen's own music opens a view into his compositional cosmos. This is exactly what makes this evening appealing: The audience experiences not just a pianist but a musician who thinks sound, form, and emotion from a single artistic perspective.
