NEW MUSIC LIFE –
NEW MUSIC EXPERIENCE!

For music and for people – Kronberg Academy is a place for musicians of all generations from many different countries to learn and be inspired. It brings exceptionally talented players together with the great artists of our time, who in turn pass on their experiences, ideas and values to them.

This happens in the Kronberg Academy study programmes, and can be witnessed on the stage of the Casals Forum, where concerts, and likewise public masterclasses and rehearsals, offer audience members vibrant, intense, first-hand musical experiences.

Inspired by the great cellist and humanist Pablo Casals (1876-1973), everything that Kronberg Academy does is guided by the principle that music can motivate us to interact in a manner that is wise for music, people and the planet. Mission statement

The Kronberg Festival Supporting Programme

Through talks, exhibitions, lectures and open workshops, the supporting programme opens up new perspectives on this year’s festival theme, “Courage!”, inviting audiences to experience music beyond the concert hall.

  1. Five Young Cello Talents Honored at the 2026 Cello Masterclasses

    The Kronberg Academy’s Cello Masterclasses 2026 concluded on 30 September with two final concerts and the presentation of sponsorship awards. A total of 185 young musicians from around 35 countries came to Kronberg. Over the course of six days, they worked with Frans Helmerson, Gary Hoffman, Jens Peter Maintz, Wolfgang Emanuel Schmidt and Ildikó Szabó.

  2. New Principal Subject Faculty at Kronberg Academy

    The oratorio will be preceded by an approximately five-minute prologue for narrator and orchestra, based on a text by Elie Wiesel about the prophet Elijah. Students from Altkönigschule Kronberg, Bischof-Neumann-Schule Königstein, and the Department of Art and Design at August-Bebel-Schule Offenbach will present their artistic interpretations of the prophet in the foyer of the Casals Forum.

  3. Guided tours of the Casals Forum
