Programme
Five artistic personalities – five perspectives, five approaches, five paths to music.
Where is the spark that sets everything alight? It is found where great artists inspire young talents and pass on their knowledge and experience. Every two years, Kronberg Academy invites cello students from around the world to the “World Capital of the Cello” (Mstislav Rostropovich). Over the course of almost a week, they receive valuable inspiration and guidance from five distinguished teachers in public masterclasses. This year, we are delighted to welcome Marie-Elisabeth Hecker, Frans Helmerson, Gary Hoffman, Jens Peter Maintz and Wolfgang Emanuel Schmidt.
For interested visitors, the public masterclasses offer a unique opportunity to explore even the most hidden corners of the cello repertoire.
Day ticket for the public masterclasses: €12
Valid for all masterclasses on one day; free admission for young people and students under the age of 27.
Further details about the programme will be announced in due course.
Venues: Casals Forum, Stadthalle, Galerie Opper
