Artists & projects

In his music, Benjamin Günst seeks the moment when technical virtuosity recedes into the background and gives way to expression, thereby creating an immediate experience. As a soloist and chamber musician, he combines musical clarity and technical mastery with emotional intensity.

“Daring something new” is his motto, and so world premieres and close collaboration with composers feature just as much in Simon Höfele’s concert programmes as the classical trumpet repertoire. Curious, fearless and with a great passion for his instrument.

By winning first prize at the 19th International Chopin Competition in Warsaw in 2025, Eric Lu fulfilled a lifelong dream. The Massachusetts-born musician captivates audiences with his emotional depth and technical mastery.

Szymon Nehring is regarded as an exceptionally talented pianist. He is the only Pole to have won first prize at the Arthur Rubinstein International Piano Competition in Tel Aviv (2017).

Doriana Tchakarova is an internationally successful lied pianist, winner of numerous competitions and her album recordings have been honoured with major awards.

With boundless energy, Antje Weithaas imbues every detail of the score with her compelling musical intelligence and unparalleled technical mastery. Her charisma and stage presence captivate the audience without ever overshadowing the work itself.
