Arosa Sounds Festival

Boogie-woogie with heart, groove and a keen sense: Frank Muschalle brings the sound of the 30s into the here and now. As one of the most internationally renowned boogie pianists, he has been touring the world for over 30 years – from Europe to North and South America to Africa. For example, in 2022-2025, a wide variety of concert tours took place in Canada and the USA, organized by the German Embassy and the Goethe Institute. The tours took Frank to Ottawa, Montreal, Vancouver, Chicago, Seattle, Atlanta, Houston, Cincinnati and San Francisco.

Solo on the grand piano, Muschalle shows what this style is capable of: driving bass lines, flying right hand, bluesy nuances and always surprising improvisations. Whether fast-paced or leaning back, classical or completely free – his concerts are full of energy, joy of playing and musical depth.

Frank Muschalle knows how to tell stories with his playing. Sometimes grooving, sometimes melancholic, sometimes explosive - always authentic and with a fine feeling for dynamics and atmosphere. Between the pieces, he gives charming insights into the history of the boogie and his own musical journey. 15 CDs have now been released by Frank and the Jazzpodium wrote: ".... Muschalle not only opens up new venues for his music, but also new creative horizons...."

A piano solo concert with Frank Muschalle is not a nostalgia program - but lively music that gets under your skin.
