Masters in Performance

26–28 June 2026

Even the best need to pass exams – and fortunately, since their recitals give rise to tremendous concert experiences, they are also open to the public. Examination concerts are on offer from Bachelor and Master candidates playing in a wide variety of ensemble configurations.

Rousing graduation concerts

The concert programmes are put together by the young musicians themselves and contain highlights of the sonata literature as well as virtuoso showpieces and expressive compositions from the 20th and 21st centuries.

Examination recitals

All concerts take place in the intimate atmosphere of the Carl Bechstein Hall, and offer opportunities to meet the outstanding young players during concert intervals.
