The G. Henle Kammermusik-Akademie (Chamber music academy) is the result of an initiative by the Deutsche Stiftung Musikleben and G. Henle Publishers. Once a year as part of this cooperation, scholarship holders will devote themselves intensively to chamber music under the guidance of an alumnus or alumna of the foundation. They will work together on pieces from different eras for ever-changing ensembles and then perform them in a public final concert. 

Chamber music schools our listening: Making music with others …

• sharpens our ears. Playing in a small ensemble means paying close attention to one another, pursuing a common musical goal, and becoming one as a group of individual artists.
• promotes creativity. Each musician can contribute their own ideas and the personalities of the individual musicians add to the artistic richness of the ensemble. 

Following the successful debut in Eutin last year, the G. Henle Chamber Music Academy has now taken place for the second time: from 21 to 24 May 2025, five young musicians – Helene Freytag (violin), Moë Dierstein (violin), Arcan Isenkul (viola), Fridolin Schöbi (viola) and Seungyeon Baik (violoncello) – gathered at Schloss Weissenstein in Pommersfelden, to make music together. Under the direction of cellist Sebastian Klinger, professor at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hamburg, they worked on chamber music pieces by Borodin, Mozart and Tchaikovsky. With the support of G. Henle Verlag, this venture will take place on a regular basis in future.

Here you will find a review of the second academy.
