Peter Schickele’s Concert Appearances Here is a list of concert halls and performing groups who have graciously invited Peter Schickele or Prof. Schickele to present concerts in the near future, along with dates and times and helpful or informative links.  Peter Schickele’s usual touring season runs from January through May, with a few scattered concerts showing up at other times of the year.  The new season schedule is usually posted on this page by September each year, with additional concert dates added as we find out about them.   Note:  It is always wise to check things out before arriving at the concert hall five minutes before curtain time; concerts sometimes materialize, or evaporate out of, or into, respectively, thin air.  To find out about the latest materializations and evaporations, when and if they happen, sign up for our mailing list. Note:  For each location we have tried to find the most useful link that is available.  In the best cases, this will point to the venue’s official site where you can order tickets on-line.  In some cases, on-line ordering isn’t available, or the specific concert hasn’t yet been listed on that site, or we somehow completely overlooked a much better link than the one provided.  If you happen to know of a better link that we could list, please e-mail us.
