Kronberg Academy

In the organizer's words:

Promoting talent and sustainably supporting the musical elite of the future: The Gürzenich Orchestra also sees this as an important part of its responsibility. Last season, together with Andrés Orozco-Estrada, it launched a cooperation with one of the world's leading educational institutions: Kronberg Academy promotes internationally outstanding instrumentalists at the beginning of a great soloist career.

The violinist Julian Rhee, winner of major competitions and on tour in the great concert halls on all five continents, is already in demand worldwide. One of his showpieces is the brilliant 3rd Violin Concerto by Camille Saint-Saëns.

Saò Soulez Larivère was named "Young Artist of the Year" 2023 by the International Classical Music Awards (ICMA) and nominated as a "Rising Star" by the European Concert Hall Organization (ECHO), which led to performances in the most important concert halls in Europe. With Andrés Orozco-Estrada on the podium and the Gürzenich Orchestra, he presents Béla Bartók's Viola Concerto.

Luka Coetzee received her first cello lesson at the age of one. She made her professional debut as a soloist with orchestra at the age of eleven and is now one of the world's elite. Joseph Haydn's 2nd Cello Concerto is one of the most technically and musically delicate works in the repertoire - perfect for Luka Coetzee and a brilliant performance in the Cologne Philharmonie.
