“Kronberg Academy does what is urgently needed in the music world today: it trains young musicians at the top musical level, giving them fresh inspiration and the chance to develop further.”

CHRISTOPH ESCHENBACH

 

“For me, Kronberg Academy is a sheltered but very open place full of possibilities, where nothing detracts from the task of working intensively with others on music. The fact that gifted young people can learn from us – and we from them – in those conditions makes Kronberg a very important place in the world of music.”

GIDON KREMER

 

“Kronberg Academy is the most important inspiring educational institution for young string players.”

SIR ANDRÁS SCHIFF

 

“For those of us who are musicians, Kronberg is an oasis in the centre of Germany. Many young people are drawn to big cities such as London or New York, which are exciting but not restful. Here in Kronberg young musicians find the tranquillity and sympathetic understanding that they need to flourish.”

MSTISLAV ROSTROPOVICH † (1927–2007)

 

“Kronberg is the world capital of the cello.”
