Guest performance
Philharmonie Berlin, Chamber Music Hall (Berlin)
The Deutsche Stiftung Musikleben invites you to a benefit concert at the Elbphilharmonie and presents selected scholarship holders. Pianist and alumna Mariam Batsashvili will be a guest star. The invited young artists will demonstrate stylistic diversity and great skill on the stage of the Grand Hall in various chamber music ensembles – including the string orchestra of the Deutsche Stiftung Musikleben under the direction of Nicolò Foron, the award-winning 2Cities Cello Quartet and the two duos Leon Lorenz (percussion) & Philipp Schupelius (cello) and Polina Tarasenko (trombone) & Tabea Streicher (piano). The Deutsche Stiftung Musikleben, based in Hamburg, has been supporting top young musicians since 1962. Around 300 scholarship holders are given sustainable and individual support through the loan of valuable string instruments, scholarships and sponsorships and performances with cooperation partners such as festivals and major orchestras.
The »Fanny Mendelssohn Förderpreis« has been honouring young classical artists since 2015 – the internationally renowned concept prize not only evaluates the technical virtuosity of the applicants, but also places particular emphasis on innovative concepts and visionary design. The young talents are given absolute freedom in their musical projects.
