Chamber music at the highest level in the Red Hall
On Wednesday, December 9, 2026, the Red Hall of the University of Music at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz will transform into a concentrated resonance space for fine timbres, musical dialogue, and vibrant chamber music. In the lecture concert with piano chamber music, experienced educators and internationally influenced musicians come together.
When six strings meet two pianos
On stage, Prof. Anne Shih, Prof. Benjamin Bergmann, and Stefan Besan on violin, Prof. Claudia Bussian on viola, Prof. Manuel Fischer-Dieskau on cello, as well as Prof. Thomas Hell and Prof. Sae-Nal Lea Kim on piano perform. This combination opens a wide sound spectrum between the intimacy of chamber music, precise synchronization, and grand orchestral effect.
Musical dialogue with great depth
Piano chamber music thrives on the immediate exchange of voices. Each phrase reacts to the previous one, each nuance alters the musical balance. In the Red Hall, a live atmosphere is created where articulation, dynamics, and tonal balance become particularly vivid. The stage performance combines technical precision with that closeness that characterizes the concert experience of chamber music.
Orientation before the first note
Prof. Dr. Birger Petersen introduces the works of the evening. His moderation provides orientation and opens access to musical structures, historical contexts, and compositional ideas. This way, analytical expertise meets immediate audience mood: the concert invites attendees to deepen familiar listening habits and discover new details.
An evening for lovers of classical music
The lecture concert is aimed at everyone who appreciates the finely tuned sound of a professional chamber music ensemble. Violin, viola, cello, and piano merge into a colorful sound picture that ranges from the quiet breath of a melody to powerful intensification.
The audience can expect a focused concert evening with selected works of piano chamber music, committed interpretation, and personal introduction. Anyone who wants to experience classical music up close should not miss this evening in the Red Hall live.
