A
The annual festival of classical piano music was founded in 1987 by Peter Froundjian [de] who has directed it since.[1] The venue of the annual festival of rarely played classical piano music is the knights' hall of the Schloss vor Husum, seating around 160 people.[2] The festival is run by the Nordfriesland district and the Stiftung Nordfriesland.[3]
Each festival, in August, features ten evening concerts, a matinee and an exhibition in the foyer of the palace.[1] More than 150 pianists have played programs of rarely played music, and meet an international audience open to discoveries. The music is supported by a detailed program book with background information for the pieces and their players.
Some concerts have been recorded by the Danish label Danacord. The production of a CD of live music resulted in a wider distribution.[1] In 2011 a book about the festival was published, Jenseits des Mainstreams, with an English version Beyond the Mainstream. Kreis Nordfriesland and die Stiftung Nordfriesland. The broadcaster NDR is a cultural partner of the festiival.[1]
