    Building Bridges – Sir András Schiff presents young pianists

    The famous pianist Sir András Schiff presents young pianists at the beginning of a great career. Even after graduating from a renowned music academy, it is not easy for young musicians to position themselves successfully on the music market. Regardless of talent and technical excellence, there is usually a lack of performance practice and important networks. This is where Sir András Schiff's mentoring programme Building Bridges comes in, with which he has been providing targeted and sustainable support for young pianists since 2014.

    Lucas & Arthur Jussen piano duo
    Why you must attend this concert:
    One of the most sought-after piano duos of our time brings a breath of fresh air to classical music

    Grieg: Peer Gynt-Suite No 1 for 4 hands
    Schubert: Rondo A major for 4 hands
    Rachmaninov: Six Morceaux Op 11 for 4 hands

    Dutch duo Lucas & Artur Jussen are among the most sought-after piano duos of our time and are a breath of fresh air in the world's biggest concert halls. With their energetic, almost symbiotic playing, their great refinement of sound and their gripping interpretations, they are celebrated by press and audience alike. “It's like driving two BMWs at the same time,” said conductor Michael Schønwandt about the two pianists after a joint concert.

    Belcea Quartet string quartet
    Quatuor Ébène string quartet
    Why you must attend this concert:
    The two best string quartets in the world united in an octet

    Mendelssohn: String octet
    Enescu: String octet

    Two world-class string quartets: the Quatuor Ébène and the Belcea Quartet are among the best string quartets ever. For this concert, they unite to form an octet and interpret two of the great works for this instrumentation – Mendelssohn's youthful work full of luminous melodic ideas and the darkly glowing, dense work by the nineteen-year-old Romanian Enescu.

    7st Chamber Music Week

    Die Elmauer Kammermusikwoche bildet seit den 50er-Jahren das Herzstück des Kulturprogramms in Schloss Elmau. Besondere Prägung und eine große künstlerische Blüte erfuhr diese Festivalwoche durch das Amadeus Quartett und den Komponisten Benjamin Brittens, dessen 50. Todestag in 2026 gefeiert wird. Er, der Komponist und Interpret Britten und seine besondere Beziehung zu Schloss Elmau, bildet den roten Faden der Kammermusikwoche 2026. Es erklingen außerdem große Kammermusikwerke von Mozart, Schubert und Schostakowitsch.

    with Ian Bostridge, Christian Tetzlaff u.a.
