- Seville City Council presents Alexander Hülshoff and Andreas Frölich on 19 November 2026.

Royal Alcazar of Seville (Real Alcázar de Sevilla) hosts the El Piano del Almirante concert series in Sevilla, with performances scheduled for 19 and 26 November 2026. The programme places classical music in the Salón del Almirante, one of the palace complex's named historic rooms.
El Piano del Almirante continues on 19 and 26 November
Seville City Council, through the Patronato del Real Alcázar, announced the November programme on 4 November 2026. The official schedule covers four Thursday evenings in November, although the first two dates, 5 and 12 November, have already passed.
The remaining performance on 19 November features Alexander Hülshoff and Andreas Frölich. Marco Schiavo is listed for 26 November. The official November programme says that the concerts are organised around a Blüthner piano preserved at the monument.
The same announcement gives an evening start at 8pm and says access is through the Puerta del Leon from 7.30pm. It also states that admission is free until capacity is reached, making the series relevant to visitors already planning a palace visit rather than only to local concert audiences.
The Admiral's Hall links music with Alcázar history
The Salón del Almirante is not a generic concert venue. UNESCO identifies the hall as the headquarters of the Casa de Contratación, or House of Trade, within the Alcázar complex. The hall was connected with planning major voyages, including the first circumnavigation of the globe.
The palace itself contains several historical layers. UNESCO describes an original Almohad palace, the Mudejar Palacio de Pedro I and later Renaissance and Neoclassical additions. The gardens and courtyards remain part of the same protected complex, so the November programme puts a modern performance beside spaces shaped over many centuries.
The Cathedral, Alcázar and Archivo de Indias in Seville were inscribed together on the World Heritage List in 1987. The UNESCO description of the complex places the buildings within Seville's historic centre and records the Alcázar's continued use as a royal residence in the city.
Two November concerts remain on the published schedule
The programme gives travellers a specific way to connect the palace's architectural setting with a current cultural event. The 19 November appearance brings two named performers to the Admiral's Hall, while the 26 November date presents Marco Schiavo in the same room.
The dates also sit within a wider sequence rather than representing a single standalone recital. The official notice lists Angela Wu Yue'er and Li Wuna Leona for 5 November and Quinteto Quadrivium for 12 November, showing how the series unfolds across the month.
