MittwochsKonzerte
The MittwochsKonzerte offer Kronberg Academy’s students a platform to show who and what they are: excellent, independent, bold and full of musical imagination. They devise their programmes independently, invite fellow students or musician friends to perform with them, and surprise us all with fresh takes on chamber music. No two evenings are the same, but they all offer the unexpected. A series that is loved by audiences!
