2026 European Piano Tour of Arsenii Moon
French pianist Arsenii Moon set upon a multi-country European tour in 2026, which saw the acclaimed musician appear in several of the continent’s leading cultural centres across major cities within Austria, Czechia, Italy, and Spain.
The tour kicked off on the 20th of April in Austria, with Moon appearing at the Großer Saal of the Musikverein Wien in the country’s capital city. For this opening engagement, he performed alongside the Győr Philharmonic Orchestra, led by conductor Christoph Poppen, in a striking opening to his European journey.
One week later, on April 27th, Moon continued his tour in Czechia, appearing at Smetana Hall in Prague. There, he joined the Prague Philharmonia under the direction of Emmanuel Villaume, once again performing in one of Central Europe’s great musical capitals.
The tour then travelled to Italy, where Moon appeared on the 30th of April in Turin at the Auditorium Rai di Torino. For this performance, he collaborated with Orchestra RAI and conductor Anu Tali, continuing his interpretation of the repertoire in the context of a new artistic collaboration.
Moon’s European trip then concluded in Spain, with a performance on May 4th at the Palau de la Música Catalana in Barcelona. Appearing with the Franz Schubert Filharmonia, under the baton of Tomàs Grau, the pianist brought the tour to one of Europe’s most beautiful concert halls, providing a fitting final stop for a journey that had moved through some of the continent’s most important musical centres, each offering its own atmosphere, tradition, and artistic context.
