88 keys. A ridiculous number of possibilities.
Anna Hlavka is an Austrian pianist and organist with a musical curiosity that doesn't really care about genre boundaries. Classically trained, at home on rock stages, in churches, concert halls and recording studios, she enjoys exploring just how many different things can happen between the same 88 keys.
Her musical journey began at the Music School of Hartberg and continued at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz (KUG), where she attended the Gifted and Talented Program in Classical Piano and graduated with distinction in 2022.
But classical music was never the whole story. Over the years, Anna has played in all kinds of bands and ensembles, moving between classical repertoire, pop, rock, film music and musical cabaret. She likes musical contrasts, unexpected combinations and projects that don't quite fit into a box.
Her relationship with the organ is a story of its own.
Without formal organ studies, she taught herself to play the instrument, eventually becoming organist at three churches in Styria between 2020 and 2022. Alongside liturgical services, she accompanies choirs and performs organ concerts, often exploring ways to take the instrument beyond its traditional repertoire.
