The supremely talented Soloists of the Kronberg Academy present Wigmore Hall audiences with the chance to hear the next generation of world-class chamber musicians. Their choice of repertoire includes two movements from the F-A-E Sonata, a collaborative work by Robert Schumann, the young Brahms and Schumann’s pupil Albert Dietrich. The concert is framed by Debussy’s mature, ravishingly beautiful Cello Sonata and his late Violin Sonata, a luminous and harmonically daring work that crowns his final creative period.

Soloists of the Kronberg Academy; Kirill Gerstein piano

Wigmore Hall

Kirill Gerstein, Principal Professor in the Kronberg Academy study programmes since 2018, once again joins four of the Academy’s exceptional young musicians this evening. They open with Brahms’s mighty Piano Quintet in F minor, a four-movement work of symphonic proportions, and follow it with Dvořák’s comparably great Second Piano Quintet, a richly lyrical staple of the chamber music repertoire since its first performance in 1888.

Beethoven’s radiant Septet, Nielsen’s playful Serenata, and Strauss’ mischievous Till Eulenspiegel combine for an evening of warmth, wit, and artistry.
