An evening salon full of breath, sound, and finest chamber music in Mainz
On December 15, 2026, the Institut français Mainz will transform into an intimate concert venue for an evening that highlights the oboe and piano.

Chamber music in direct dialogue
Here, it is not the grand gesture that counts, but the precise synchronization of breath, phrasing, and attack. Music for oboe and piano thrives on transparency, tension, and subtle dynamic gradations. This is exactly what creates that live atmosphere that works so immediately in the salon of the Institut français Mainz: close, concentrated, and musically alert.

A concert format with profile
Les Salons en Musique is a cooperation of the Institut français Mainz with the Hochschule für Musik Mainz and is already entering its fourth season. The format regularly gives students a platform and convincingly connects training, artistic practice, and audience experience. For this evening, a class concert by Prof. Daniela Tessmann is announced. ([institutfrancais.de](https://www.institutfrancais.de/de/mainz/event/les-salons-en-musique-28284?utm_source=openai))
The sound space of the Institut français Mainz
The event venue is located at Schillerstraße 11 at Schillerplatz in Mainz. The connection is convenient: According to the travel instructions, the Institut is directly reachable at the Schillerplatz stop; for drivers, parking garages at the main train station and at Proviant-Magazin are recommended. This speaks for a relaxed arrival for a concert evening with clear acoustics and concentrated audience atmosphere.

Masako Eguchi at the piano
As a pianist, Masako Eguchi brings a wealth of experience from accompanying wind players and from chamber music. Her career has taken her from Japan, Budapest, and renowned competitions to Germany, where she works at several music universities. Especially in an oboe evening, this sonic experience is a crucial factor for the balance between color and structure. ([musik.uni-mainz.de](https://www.musik.uni-mainz.de/masako-eguchi/))
The evening promises a fine concert experience for all who appreciate tonal nuances, musical maturity, and the special intimacy of a salon concert. Anyone who wants to experience the oboe and piano in all their intimacy should mark this date in Mainz and be there live.
