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 two highly successful chamber music events in this series, the Deutsche Stiftung Musikleben recently organised the G. Henle Chamber Music Academy for the third time: from 9 September 2026, the award-winning pianist Olga Scheps rehearsed at Kultur Gut Hasselburg with the four young up-and-coming talents Maxim Tzekov (violin), Mascha Wehrmeyer (violin), Elena Küssner (viola) and Francisco Joui Karr (cello) at Kultur Gut Hasselburg. The public finale concert took place on 12 September at 7 pm in the manor house at Kultur Gut Hasselburg. With the support of G. Henle Verlag, this venture will take place on a regular basis in future.
