Launched in 2009, the Violin Masterclasses and Concerts provide a platform for discovering and supporting young artists, who come to Kronberg to learn from luminaries including Pavel Vernikov, Kolja Blacher, Mihaela Martin and Gerhard Schulz.
Owing to the restrictions of the pandemic, this year’s event was held with a limited number of participants and restricted audience numbers.
The next Violin Masterclasses and Concerts will take place in two years’ time, in June 2023.
