Otto Lechner brings accordion, breath, and great melodies to Schwerin
On Saturday, November 7, 2026, Otto Lechner transforms the werk3 / KlangWert in Schwerin into an intimate resonance space for accordion, vocals, and musical discoveries. His rare solo concert Much Air and Me Behind It starts at 8:00 PM and takes you through a personal sound world between pop, classical, world music, and improvisation.
When the bellows begins to breathe
Otto Lechner places the accordion at the center of attention. Many keys and buttons, metal tongues, and the rhythmic breath of the bellows merge into an instrument that is both machine and emotional voice. In the immediate live atmosphere of KlangWert, this creates a concert experience with great closeness, dynamic movement, and finely tuned sound.
Familiar songs in surprising forms
The program features both original inventions and interpretations of Paul Simon, Jimi Hendrix, and Joseph Haydn. Lechner combines well-known melodies with individual orchestration, spontaneous conducting through his own breath, and an expressive stage performance. Between ballad, sound experiment, and rhythmic intensification, an unusual perspective on familiar musical material unfolds.
A prominent Austrian accordionist
Otto Lechner is among the most prominent Austrian accordionists and composers of our time. As a virtuoso, improviser, and member of the international formation Accordion Tribe, he has shaped the perception of the accordion far beyond traditional style boundaries. His musical work combines jazz, world music, contemporary sound language, and popular song culture.
Intimate audience atmosphere at werk3

The small, personal venue creates short distances between stage and audience, clear acoustics, and a concentrated audience atmosphere. Every breath of the instrument, every vocal nuance, and every change in play remains immediately perceptible.
