Messinian Mani, archaeological site in Old Kardamyli
“After approximately 130 exhibitions, the time has come to present my works for the first time, in the place that I have loved and adored so much
since I was a little child. The place that has deeply influenced me over time and that if I hadn’t breathed its oxygen, I wouldn’t be the person and artist I am today.”

Matthias Kirschnereit - Solo Piano
2025-09-15 19:30 - 21:30 | Mani Sonnenlink, Neoxori, Mani Sonnenlink Bio Hotel, West Mani, Greece
“A musician of expression par excellence, whose play carries on a specific tradition of German pianism.” This was how the German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung characterized the pianist Matthias Kirschnereit and the many facets marking his play. Among other things, these include his fresh and inspirational play, his tempered breathing in phrasing, clear articulation and finely dosed agogic.
The artist himself puts it more plainly. “I’m always searching for the human message,” says Kirschnereit. “The composers have encoded so much into their work: pain, longing, jubilation, triviality and despair. The more familiar they become to me, the more my admiration for them grows, “I live, feel and suffer with them.”
