What a truly memorable evening: On 7 November, the ARD Competition celebrated its 75th anniversary at Munich’s Prinzregententheater. Henle Publishers was delighted to support this special event as a sponsor — and to be there in person with its management team and Felix Henle, Chairman of the Board of the Günter Henle Foundation.

The stage brought together former prize winners whose careers have taken them to concert halls around the world: Antoine Tamestit (s. photo 1), Sharon Kam (s. photo 2), Marianna Shirinyan (who brilliantly stepped in for Lukas Sternath), Selina Ott, and Tanja Tetzlaff, joined by the Münchener Kammerorchester, as well as Thomas Quasthoff, accompanied by guitarist Wolfgang Meyer. And what a wonderful surprise at the end of the first half: an encore appearance by the acclaimed Quatuor Ébène (s. photo 3) — a true gala moment.

Henle Publishers is grateful to have been part of this anniversary celebration and looks forward to continuing the close collaboration with the ARD Music Competition team.
